Understanding Decisional Capacity in End-of-Life Care

March 26, 2024
3:00 - 4:15 pm

brought to you in partnership with the

Home Care and Hospice Essential Webinar Network

How do you decide if a hospice patient is capable of deciding for themselves?

Most hospice patients are either lacking in decisional capacity upon admission or will reach that point during their care experience. How does this impact the patient’s informed consent? Who does the IDG turn to for decisions on the patient’s behalf? What do you do if you’re unsure about a patient’s capacity?

All of these are critical questions to ask to protect the patient’s autonomy, dignity, and right to choose. Ensure your organization has the information and expertise needed to navigate these murky waters and make certain the best interests of patients and families are served.
