“When individuals engage a hospice provider they want to be sure that provider is capable of providing safe, quality care,” said Margherita Labson, RN, M.S., executive director, Home Care Accreditation program, The Joint Commission. As the home care setting becomes increasingly popular, it is important that hospice providers are able to demonstrate that they are capable of providing safe, high quality care.
