Hospice care provides support for people who are at the end of their lives. Patients who are admitted to hospice usually die within one week. A small percentage of hospice patients live longer. According to National Institutes of Health, hospice programs have a very small number of patients who live beyond six-months. This is despite the fact that there is no clear reason for it.

Hospice care is a combination of many services. These include counseling for the terminally sick, short-term inpatient treatment, pain control and symptom management. Medicare pays a daily fixed rate for hospice care. These payments are for the hospice care cost, regardless of how many patients receive it. The Medicare payment schedule has four daily base payment amounts, each for different categories.
One year
Hospice care can be for up to one year. Most people are admitted to hospice when they are at the end. Hospice is designed to ease the transition from death to life. This is achieved by developing individualized care plans for patients. Each plan addresses the unique needs of each patient, and aims to ease both physical as well as emotional pain. It helps patients to organize their lives and make their last phase of life meaningful.

Hospice is a health care option that provides comprehensive, end-of-life care. For many patients, hospice is an alternative to hospitalization. Hospices have the best medical technology available and are able to provide care for patients with special needs. Furthermore, the Affordable Care Act (2010) (ACA), which requires hospices that they report quality metrics on the services provided to patients, also requires them to do so. These measures should be approved and published by a quality assurance consensus-based organization no later than October 1, 2012. These measures must be reported starting October 1, 2013. CMS contracted state-based quality improvement organisations to develop several palliative and hospice quality measures. The CARE Instrument is an example.

Despite the belief that hospice is the fastest route to death, research has shown that hospice can actually prolong your life. According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization's (NHPCO), hospice patients had a tendency to live 29 more days than patients not in hospice. The results dispelled the common misconception that hospice accelerates death, and pointed to the fact that hospice is actually an effective way to extend life. Also, hospice providers are now evaluating treatments based on patients' care goals and making sure that they don't compromise quality of life.

Hospice is not the right choice for everyone. In fact, around 30 percent Medicare beneficiaries are placed in hospice for less than six month. It is also important to understand the profit motives behind hospice care. Two doctors must sign off that the patient's life expectancy is less then six months before they are admitted to hospice. Sometimes doctors can be wrong. A study by James B. Nelson showed that doctors could be wrong about a patient's prognosis.

My boyfriend wants to sex with my girlfriend, but I'm not interested in it. What should I do?

Ask him if it's something he believes you're ready for. Ask him what he would consider comfortable.
Listen to him. Don't judge his answers based on your personal feelings.
