The study, which was published June 9, used data from 1,000 agency sites across the nation in the areas of “clinical, operational, and financial best practices as well as technology, palliative care, staffing, and future deliveries of care.”
Two other findings:
- Hospice agencies admitting their patients within four hours of receiving a referral have significantly higher family satisfaction scores than those who take longer.
- Ninety-two percent of agency respondents use telehealth, with 44 percent continuing to use telehealth after patient discharge for population health initiatives.
