In 2022, CMS shared one family's hospice experience as a part of a presentation at the NHPCO Annual Leadership and Advocacy Conference CMS Update. As a result, NHPCO developed a video case study and discussion guide based on this family's hospice experience to dispel myths of hospice care.
The video and discussion guide can be used as in-service education for certified nurse aides. I recommend having your aides view the Introduction and Case Study first, then Excerpts 1 and 8. The Discussion Guide reviews these excerpt as well as others, and provides suggested communication and a reflection question.
If you want to see how to bring this case study to your hospice, join us during the 2023 Virtual Interdisciplinary Conference on Monday, April 24 from 2:15 - 3:15 p.m. ET to discuss how to use this resource.
How would you use these excerpts to train your hospice team?
