DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nComfort starts with care that listens. Effective hospice pain management and symptom management are essential to providing compassionate\, patient-centered end-of-life care.

By improving pain assessment\, symptom recognition\, and individualized care planning\, hospice professionals can enhance patient comfort\, support families\, and deliver high-quality end-of-life care while meeting clinical best practices. \nPain and symptom management is an interdisciplinary approach used in palliative care and hospice to relieve suffering\, reduce illness burden\, and improve overall quality of life. It integrates medication and supportive therapies to address physical\, emotional\, and spiritual distress and should be addressed on every plan of care. One of the biggest concerns of people dying on hospice is the fear of pain and suffering and CMS continues to add quality measures to HQRP\, including pain screening and assessment. \nIn this presentation\, we will dive into how to assess for pain and other symptoms\, as they impact multiple patient activities and quality of life. How to evaluate\, intervene\, educate\, document\, and manage pain and symptoms through a variety of interventions will be presented. It is critical that we continue to educate our staff on pain and symptom management\, including the importance of updating plans of care to meet the changing needs of patients and goals of care. \nBEST PRACTICES FOR HOSPICE PAIN & SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT\nHigh-quality hospice pain management begins with thorough patient assessments\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, and ongoing communication with patients and families. By recognizing changing symptoms early and developing individualized treatment plans\, hospice teams can improve comfort\, support patient goals\, and enhance overall quality of life. \nTHIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:\nHospice\nPalliative Care \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND?\nMedical directors\, hospice team physicians\nDirectors of patient care\, clinical supervisors\nCase managers and all field staff\nCore hospice and palliative care team members \nTAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT\nEmployee training log\nInteractive quiz\nPDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions\nAttendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits \nNOTE: All materials are subject to copyright.
