"Often times, Black patients in many communities may not have insurance or have used the emergency room for their care. So if trust hasn't been established in a new relationship with hospice, families may go again to the ER to get a more immediate response, which can result in a hospice discharge."

"Depending on your frequency of audits or assessments internally, it might be quarterly that you do this, but the idea is that you're continuously internally assessing for gaps and in turn identifying performance improvement interventions to close those gaps."

"There are times when facility staff and residents fulfill the role of being the patient's family and provide caregiver services as well as being companions and generally supportive of a patient in that care setting ... A hospice needs to offer bereavement services to facility staff or residents that fulfill the role of a hospice patient's family as identified in that patient's plan of care."
