One of the nurses in our Hospice group is developing a hospice order set that is based on diagnoses. She is hoping to design it as a checklist similar to what is used at the hospital. We are also attempting to design admission packets and check off sheets simialr to what is used at the hospital for admissions and discharges. It would be great if we didn't have to reinvent the wheel so I am wondering how many Hospices have something similar already. I am willing to share what we create and open to any ideas.

Hi This thread might be gone but I was just sent to For Comfort Always at North Memorial in Minneapolis, and they have standing orders 9 pages in length. I have received a copy of the orders from Black River Memorial and am waiting to receive a copy from North Memorial. My intention is tointroduce them to our director and our attendings in hopes that we can save time and prevent inappropriate dosing from physicians not familiar with common Hospice practices.
