September 23, 2015

End-of-life care conversations and advance directives. At Medalogix, we’re working hard toaddress and solveend-of-life care challenges with analytics technology.

One such challenge is end-of-life discussions—essential forpatients, their families and friends. While thisdialogue is sensitive, and can beuncomfortable, tools to help facilitate these conversations are greatly beneficial.

Having the best information can often lead to the most hollistic experience. Our hospice analytics technology helps ensure the right conversations are happening with the right personat the right time—and often sooner than widely practiced. We equip home health and hospice providerswith some of the tools needed to identifypatterns that speak to the timely nature of the best patient care.

Anothertool that is helpful at any age or current health status is an advance health care directive. These legally-binding documents are practical, freely available, and a good way tofacilitate these conversations and begin end-of-life planning.CaringInfo.org provides free .pdfs of guidelines and forms for each state.
