Clinical Consulting
Our experienced clinical professionals offer detailed, immediate therapeutic consulting with every call. We offer hospices the unique ability to screen each patient’s drug therapy based on terminal diagnosis, and we screen for duplicate therapies. We offer hospices complete compliance with the latest hospice CoPs (Conditions of Participation) related to the initial and comprehensive assessment of the patient as well as the entire patient drug therapy. We offer a robust library of in-service education programs for hospice team members and our clinical experts are happy to participate in hospice IDG (Inter-Disciplinary Group) meetings and offer CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) team support.
