With shorter lengths of stay and decreasing staffing ratios, hospice nurses, social workers, chaplains, and aides are extremely busy. Often team meetings are video conferences and clinicians have less time to stop by the office. Opportunities for relationship building and informal, just-in-time collaborations are infrequent - which causes care plans to become siloed and fragmented. This emerging reality comes with several challenges, including continuing to incorporate true wholistic interdisciplinary collaboration into patient and family care. Many agencies can no longer rely on in-person meetings for those informal collaborations. Agencies must be intentional and deliberate in their approach to ensure the team stays connected and patients and families receive the best possible hospice experience. This webinar will ground participants in their mission while adapting to the realities of the new hospice environment.
