Symptom Management

If the severity of the patient's physical condition prevents appropriate care being provided in the home, the patient may be moved to an inpatient setting for better monitoring and control of physical symptoms.

Services are provided by Hospice under a contractual relationship with an inpatient provider, which stipulates that Hospice will retain professional management of the terminal illness. Hospice will assume financial responsibility for the inpatient stay if it occurs in a contractual facility, is ordered by the plan of care, and treatment is appropriate for palliation of the symptoms of the terminal illness.
