Hospice care coordination involves organizing individual care activities to provide fast, effective delivery of services. Federal regulations pertaining to hospice agencies have specific guidelines regarding the interdisciplinary team, the plan of care, and care coordination. This course discusses the Federal regulations and how hospice team members apply these regulations to everyday practice. It also discusses the required elements of care coordination. Without this information, professionals can fail to meet compliance guidelines that may impact quality of care.
