Attached is an article from JAMA on hospice. Hospice is:
A plan or course of action, as of a government,
political party, or business, intended to
influence and determine decisions, actions, and
other matters
Hospice is sustainable because care provided without the expectation of reversibility is expensive and meeting hospice far less so.
Answer these questions based on the article:
#1 What law responded to the need for hospice?
#2 What policy created a barrier for hospice use?
#3 What policy change is suggested to change hospice use?
#4 Who are the identified stakeholders, providers, and institutions involved in hospice?
#5 What new policy, without a law change, may change hospice use?
