In this episode, Brian sits down with Angie Oujiri, Director of Hospice for Vivie, serving families across Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. With over 15 years in home health and palliative care, Angie brings a rare perspective on why so many hospice appropriate patients are hiding in plain sight inside home health caseloads. You'll learn how better conversations, earlier education, and stronger partnerships between home health and hospice teams can transform both care quality and census growth.
Key Topics
- Why patients who are eligible for hospice often land in home health first
- The emotional barrier to hospice and how to meet families where they are
- How to have informed, compassionate conversations about end-of-life options
- The single most important question clinicians can ask every patient
