I need to locate an acute care hospital with contracted Hospice GIP beds to see how you handle initial admission asessments and the frequency of head to toe assessments as it relates to the Joint comission standards.

Generally the contract the hospice has with the hospitl outlines who has different responsibilities. In our system the Hospice admitting RN is responsible for completing an initial assessment and plan of care in collaboration with the IDT that is brought forward to the hospice record. Subsequent assessments are done by the hospital based nurse. When the patient has been discharged or dies the hospital record of assessments and documentation is brought forward to the hospice record.
