Dementia Care Management Checklist for Hospice Transitions

Intervention: After appropriate care partners of hospice-eligible PLWD are identified who will be receiving the checklist intervention, care managers will perform telephonic outreach to engage them in a conversation about care needs (as they would in typical clinical practice). The telephonic outreach will be followed up with a recommendation for follow up by a medical provider who may conduct a hospice care assessment and engage the care partner in decision-making surrounding the hospice referral and enrollment process. This intervention was co-designed with care partners, home healthcare professionals, administrators, and medical providers. It is meant to be comprehensive and speak to the needs of all relevant parties engaged in the care of persons with dementia. It is developed so that it can be scaled and implemented widely.
