When Hospice Meets 911: What Families Should Know Before an End-of-Life Emergency
-

Written by:
What happens when a family calls 911 for someone receiving hospice care? During an already emotional moment, families and first responders may suddenly face difficult questions about treatment, transportation, resuscitation and the patient’s wishes.
In this episode of MedInsights Unleashed, Devin Hinchcliffe, Police Officer, EMT, PHTLS, returns to discuss what families should know before an end-of-life emergency occurs. We explore hospice versus palliative care, what happens when EMS is called, the importance of goals of care, and why documents such as DNRs, POLST/MOLST forms and advance directives need to be completed, understood and readily accessible before a crisis.
