Hospice Eligibility Quick Reference Guide

Hospice eligibility can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to connect diagnosis, disease trajectory, functional decline, nutritional changes, complications, and supporting clinical findings into one clear picture.

The Hospice Eligibility Quick Reference Guide was created to make that process easier. This 16-page clinical resource gives hospice nurses a practical, organized reference for recognizing and documenting findings that may support hospice eligibility across common terminal diagnoses.

This guide covers dementia/Alzheimer’s, cardiac, pulmonary, cancer, renal, liver, neurologic disease, and HIV/AIDS, plus disease trajectories, drivers/contributors, documentation, and building the overall eligibility picture. Everything you need to build your patient’s eligibility case to present to your medical director!
