During the care process, we keep our patient’s primary care physician (PCP) as the director of care. Our staff makes sure the patient’s PCP is informed of all of their wants and needs. Our hospice team also employs a hospice medical director who oversees all clinical aspects of hospice care and provides medical education to community and facility staff. These physicians actively participate in the admission, eligibility and recertification decisions and actively participate with in-home visits to hospice patients. The Hospice of the Midwest Medical Director provides overall direction for the hospice interdisciplinary staff.
