  • How to Find Hope When the Burnout is Real

    How to Find Hope When the Burnout is Real
    2025/08/15
    Palliative physician Emma Jones knows the real effects of burnout, and now she’s coaching others to rise from the ashes. While working in a high-pressure pediatric palliative care job, she found herself suffering the fallout of severe burnout. Emma was told to go home and figure out what was going on, but she realized there was no guide for how to do that. She began dealing with depression, trying to rebuild her self care. The care started with yoga, and grew to include healthy habits including daily movement, therapy, rest, and boundary setting. She calls them “small, radical changes”. Emma wanted to give other people a way out of their own burnout and validate their experiences. Her book The Phoenix Blueprint: Emerging Stronger From The Blaze of Healthcare, shares the skills and practices that have allowed her to emerge stronger from burnout and rediscover her calling to serve patients and colleagues. The Phoenix Blueprint provides a step-by-step guide to help those in healthcare rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

  • Back to Basics: What You Need to Know About Live Discharges

    Back to Basics: What You Need to Know About Live Discharges
    2025/07/18
    Hospice nurse Beth Cavenaugh helps to clear up confusion around live discharges from hospice services. Sometimes people on hospice care improve or stabilize, and no longer meet the criteria to receive care from the hospice agency. The discharge process can be confusing, and it’s important to know the things that need to happen. Here are a few highlights from this episode: Live discharges are initiated by the hospice agency when the patient no longer qualifies.Sometimes hospice patients improve because the care has become consistent, or their condition simply gets better. Their disease process may stabilize. Hospice staff are required to give the patient and caregiver notice of the discharge according to state and federal requirements.Discharge planning should ALWAYS happen - the nurse handles the clinical items (medications, equipment, a new healthcare provider/team), and the social worker handles the psychosocial concerns (caregiving assistance, community resources and support). The patient or decision maker has the right to file an appeal if they don’t agree with the discharge from hospice services. The hospice agency is required to continue providing services until the decision about the appeal is received.

  • Back to Basics: What You Need to Know About Complaints

    Back to Basics: What You Need to Know About Complaints
    2025/07/04
    We’re getting back to the basics of hospice care, sharing information about complaints, when to make them, and what should happen when you do. Hospice Social Worker Lisa Pahl (creator of The Death Deck and End of Life Deck) helps drive this discussion. Here are a few highlights from our discussion: •Patients and/or caregivers have a right to make a complaint. •There are numerous reasons a complaint might be needed: visits aren’t being made, symptoms aren’t being managed, response time is slow, or the care is out of alignment with the beliefs or needs of the patient. •Care of a hospice patient should never be rough or insensitive - this is always a reason to make a complaint. •If delivery of medications or medical equipment (DME) is very late or doesn’t happen, a complaint should be made. •A complaint can be given directly to the case manager or director/administrator of the agency. •The hospice agency should immediately investigate, talk to everyone involved, and work to resolve the issue to the satisfaction of the patient or caregiver. •If the hospice agency doesn’t resolve the complaint in a timely manner or to the point the patient/caregiver is satisfied, the complaint can be elevated to the state organization that provides licensure to hospice agencies. It might be the Health and Human Services Department for the state. •The hospice agency is required to furnish the patient/caregiver with contact information about making complaints, including the information for their accrediting organization. (This could be Joint Commission, CHAP, or ACHC).
