I'd encourage you to look at the NHPCO (National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization)website. There are lots of resources there including the medicare conditions of participation. This outlines requirements of a hospice program in terms of essential elements on the interdisciplinary team. NHPCO also has some focus groups for the different disciplines. There are lots of variations among programs in how those requirements are met. Best wishes finding a new position. Sharol Herr, RN, MSEd, CHPN; Nurse Clinician/Education Coordinator; Mt.
