In day-to-day practice, It’s hard to imagine providing excellent hospice or palliative care services without access to a team socialworker. But are we really taking full advantage of ALL socialworkers have to offer our field? I don’t know if this person was a socialworker or not. Barbara: Yay.
The number of registered nurse and socialworker visits during a patient’s final week is one of the seven quality measures that CMS uses to evaluate providers. Socialworker visits in the last days of life also rose to 9% in 2021, up from 7% in 2020. In 2019, for example, the percentage was 66%.
Tim 07:37 I was going to say the terminology really came from the legal literature that we kind of adopted, I think in that 2017 statement.

Joe 05:46 All right, well, this was back in 2017, when we were originally conceiving of the study, so, well, before the pandemic and before pretty much most of us were doing anything related to Zoom or telehealth via video visits. Either different populations, telehealth versus in person physician NP versus physician socialworker.
And so the definition of advance care planning really switched in, I think, 2017, 2018, there was kind of a United States definition and then an international consensus definition.
