HOSPICE CARE
IN AMERICA:
A LOOK AT THE
PAST SIX YEARS
The 2015 edition of NHPCO Facts
and Figures: Hospice Care in America
provides a national-level snapshot of
utilization, patient and provider
demographics, and payor sources
reflecting data from 2014.
According to data in this new edition, the hospice environment remains
stable, with some increase in the number of patients served, a continued
decrease in median length of service, and a patient mix not unlike the last
few years.
In this article, NewsLine has compiled some of the data from the last six reports.
This snapshot will help members see how hospice care continues to evolve.
Hospice Utilization
More Patients Being Served Every Year
NHPCO estimates that 1.6 to 1.7 million patients received hospice care in 2014.
Included in this estimate are patients who died; patients who remained
on the hospice census since admission during the year before (i.e.,
carryovers); and patients who were discharged alive.
