[QUOTE="branDcalf, post: 424105, member: 6298"] Hospice is a whole different setting that the long-term acute care settings where people, or their families/SOs/medical powers of attorney continue trying and chasing every possible treatment to avoid the inevitable. I do agree that medicine has advanced to where pain relief is possible without causing death, but, I can tell you many docs and nurses are loathe to use the tools available. I am very glad that JHACO and state oversight agencies are looking closely at pain assessments because of this. I have worked in both. [/QUOTE]
