DESCRIPTION:
Bereavement programs are an
integral part of the array of care services
offered for patients, families and loved ones, is a fundamental part of
the hospice mission. “Good Grief” has become a
byword. Bereavement is generally offered to the entire community for
those who are grieving.
While
bereavement counseling is mandated by CMS for hospices certified
to receive the Medicare hospice benefit, approaches to the programs may
differ from one organization to another.
That’s
why the new special report “From Disbelief
to Acceptance: Tried, True and New Ideas in Hospice Bereavement
Services,” has been compiled by the hospice letter editorial
team.
This
new 40-page report provides a sampling of different approaches to
providing bereavement services. For instance, how one hospice created
an innovative online “Grieving Center” to extend
the availability of bereavement services.
Another
hospice is reaching out to the underserved and providing care
for diverse cultures and ethnicities; and a variety of specially
targeted bereavement programs is offered by a visiting nurse
association hospice.
You’ll
also get strategies for helping the bereaved ; how to
help families and even physicians let go of the dying; hospice and the
holidays; and 13 ways to help a grieving person.
A
separate section of the report focuses on grief and children, and the
report also points to free bereavement grief tools.
