Rationale:
According to Zhang et al. (2009), costs are much lower when physicians discuss end-of-life care with their patients. Yet many dying persons are never referred to hospice. More than a third of those referred only spend seven days enrolled, although many would benefit greatly from aspects of care management lasting longer (Jennings, Ryndes, D'Onofrio, & Baily, 2010).
