Are you making the most of your hospice team meetings? We’ve got some great tips for keeping your discussions professional and respectful. Using derogatory terms or labels to describe patients and families will eventually find its way into your care so keep your reporting respectful.  It’s also important to remember to allow time for every team member in attendance to speak.  How you speak about your patients and to each other in team discussions is an important reflection of your team culture.  Making time for the right kind of patient care discussion is an important part of hospice care, not just compliance with regulation!  To get more information about hospice philosophy and history, advance care planning, and self care, visit theheartofhospice.com.  No matter who you are, or where you are in your hospice journey, you are The Heart of Hospice.
