The purpose of this project is to deploy telehospice services for Mid-Michigan hospice patients and their families, positively impacting six groups: couples where one person is a hospice patient and one is caregiver; patients living 25 miles plus from hospice facilities; patients suffering from lung disease; grieving families during the bereavement period after a hospice patient dies; on-call nurses working challenging schedules; providers applying telehospice technologies.
Outcomes Expected/Project Accomplishments:
The expected results are improved patient satisfaction and reduced burdens on family members, nurses, and providers. To measure these outcomes, researchers will use the McGill Quality of Life survey, patient health questionnaire, burden scale, the Mueller/McCloskey Job Satisfaction Scale, staff work records and notes, willingness to accept technology.
