The Value of Hospice Today and into the Future
Manage episode 394186259 series 3547878
How would you feel if you had the chance to bring peace, comfort, and a sense of closure to someone at the end of their life? Join me as I sit down with Carla Davis, a senior vice president of Hospice and Palliative Care Operations and Business Development for LHC Group, who was moved by this exact idea as a teenager. Carla shares her inspiring journey to hospice care and helps us to unravel the implications of the recent acquisition of LHC by Optum Health Services for the aging U.S. population. As we explore the compelling power of hospice and palliative care, I am sure you will appreciate the transformative impact it has on lives.
We also take a closer look at the recent research findings on hospice and palliative care reimbursement rates. Delving further, Carla and I discuss the implications of fraud and abuse in the sector, even while providing quality care to patients. You wouldn't want to miss Carla's poignant personal story about her father and how hospice care brought comfort and peace in his final days. As we ponder on the future of hospice care and its integration, I invite you to tune in and uncover its profound potential to enrich lives.
