Hospice

CMS requirements state that in-patient and out-patient hospice’s interdisciplinary group must “confer with an individual with education and training in drug management, who is an employee of or under contract with the hospice, to ensure that drugs and biologicals meet each patient’s needs.”

• Support efficacy and the safety of facility patients via comprehensive initial and follow-up medication regimen reviews.

• Support your survey preparation with an interdisciplinary approach.
