What would you consider a bed bound patient?

If they can sit in the chair with assistance with transfers, then no, I wouldn't. But that's from my experience in critical care. Haven't started my hospice job yet.

For a patient to be considered as bed-bound category he or she can't be assist to the chair or out of the bed. They basically they are total care.

Use the palliative performance score rather than a designation of bedbound. It provides a clearer picture of the functional status of the patient.

I just had this conversation at work. I think hoyer lift to gerichair= bedbound or PPS 30%, pivot to wheelchair and can sit up, PPS 40%
