High-Acuity Hospice, Wherever Home Is

Transitioning hospice-eligible patients to home can reduce length of stay, free up critical ED resources and reduce re-hospitalizations.
Get the Guide: Should I Admit, or Should I Call Hospice?

Every day, emergency departments face the challenge of caring for patients with advanced illness who cycle through repeated hospitalizations.

VITAS® Healthcare can help.

As a national leader, we have the resources and expertise to initiate or continue complex modalities for aggressive symptom management wherever a patient calls home.

Case Study:
Patient with Advanced Heart Failure

The Challenge
An 84-year-old nursing home resident with advanced heart failure (HF) was hospitalized three times over three months. One week after her last hospitalization, she returned to the emergency department with worsening CHF symptoms, lethargy and weight loss.
Goal
To stop repeated hospitalizations and improve patient’s quality of life.
Solution

In consultation with the ED physician, the patient and family agreed to a discharge plan for hospice care in the patient’s nursing home.

The interdisciplinary hospice care team created an individualized care plan and supported facility staff in managing the patient's cardiac symptoms. Over the next five weeks, the patient received routine visits from a hospice aide for personal care, and a hospice nurse and respiratory therapist for symptom management. Symptom exacerbation required one instance of continuous care (24-hour Intensive Comfort Care®) at the patient's bedside. A social worker and chaplain provided support to the patient's family with funeral arrangements and anticipatory grief.

Result
The patient remained in the nursing home, avoided further ED visits and passed away peacefully six weeks later with family present.

感言：幫助住院病人

「我想將我太太從醫院遷回家中。我們向在維吉尼亞州伍德布里奇與Sentra Hospital醫院有聯繫的VITAS機構尋求協助。聯絡人就在醫院裡，因此討論VITAS提供的服務很方便。一決定將我太太從醫院遷回家中後，VITAS就開始接手一切的工作。醫院的聯絡人隨時讓我知道進度。交通、我們家中的病床、居家療護護佐與護士全都已安排妥當。」

- Bing H.，維吉尼亞州

「VITAS安寧療護人員照顧我臨終的父親。從在醫院和我們見面的第一位協調專員，到最後陪伴他的那位護士……每個人都那麼好。他們為我們解決每個疑慮並且打理好一切，讓我們專注在與父親最後的相處時間。我極力推薦他們的安寧療護服務，如果真的很不幸有此需要的話。」

- Christine L.，佛羅里達州
