What is a Hospice Care Medication Evaluation?
When a loved one is initially enrolled in hospice care, one of the first items on their care agenda is reviewing the medications they are taking. There are a number of reasons for this. However, the following 4 will help to ease any concerns that family members may have at this time:
● It helps doctors avoid over-prescribing.
● It helps when making adjustments to a patient’s changing wishes.
● It helps when making adjustments to changes in the patient’s health.
● It may be time to add new medications or replace ones that are no longer effective.
Remember, hospice care is not just about the patient’s care, comfort, and dignity. It’s also about respecting their wishes during their final days and ensuring that the last few moments they have with their family members are pleasant ones.
