We’re getting back to the basics of hospice care with Hospice Social Worker Lisa Pahl to talk about who’s on the hospice team and what each person brings to the care of patients and caregivers. This episode focuses on the core members of the hospice interdisciplinary team (doctor, nurse, social worker, and chaplain) as well as hospice aides (Certified Nurse Assistants) and hospice volunteers. Each person on a hospice team brings very specific and essential skills to the care of patients, and the support of their families and caregivers. The best care of a hospice patient includes everyone on the hospice team. This enables the care of the patient to meet all the needs of body, mind, and spirit.
