What is coordinated aid-in-dying hospice care? It’s not about the prescription; it’s about the care. It’s patient-centered care that honors autonomy and ensures that patients considering or completing medical aid in dying receive high-quality care, regardless of where they get their aid-in-dying prescription or how they die. It demonstrates that a hospice agency’s nurses, social workers, and spiritual care providers are trained and equipped to care for these patients competently. They can fluently identify and guide interested patients and collaborate effectively with prescribing doctors. They have the knowledge and skills to monitor, prepare, and provide expert end-of-life care to patients eligible for aid-in-dying, no matter where they get their prescription or how they die.
