The hospice care program shall document the specific reasons for transferring or discharging a patient from its program. These reasons may include: The patient moves from the service area; There is a change in terminal status; The patient and family are unwilling to comply with the interdisciplinary plan of care or consistently act in a way which compromises the standards of care; Issues of patient safety cannot be resolved; Issues of staff safety cannot be resolved; or Patient and family desire for discharge. The hospice care program shall prepare a written discharge summary which shall be provided to the patient or the patient's family before the patient's discharge. Before discharge, the hospice care program shall assess the patient's and family's continuing care needs and make referrals to appropriate services.
