Educate -Teaching points - Home Health REHABS patients at home for a limited time, keeping them out of the hospital🏥 - If patients are in & out of the hospital, disease is progressing and it’s likely time to talk about hospice care. 🗺️ “MAPPING THE END” https://closler.org/lifelong-learning-in-clinical-excellence/mapping-the-end Liana’s charge to NURSES 🪫💥➡️⚡️🔋 ⚡️You are NOT working for a business, you ARE the business!
