Federal regulations state that hospices are only allowed to administer 20% of total annual inpatient patient days.
The National Institutes of Health estimate that 90% of patients pass away within six months of receiving hospice care. A patient may extend their hospice stay if a doctor determines that they are unlikely to live for another six months after they have been there for six months.
According to a study that was recently published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, approximately 2,700 non-sudden deaths occur in America every day without hospice care. According to Dr. John Cagle and colleagues, 52.4% of Americans use hospice services.
