January 11, 2008, Newsletter Issue #75: Increase In Usage of Hospice Care


1

Tip of the Week

In the last ten years, America has seen an increase in the use of Hospice care for ill white patients, and also an increase in the discharge rate for patients. For African-American patients, however, there has been less growth in the use of Hospice care, although the mortality rate from cancer for African-Americans is estimated at 33% higher than for white Americans.

While earning your RN degree or MSN degree, it is important to be aware of trends such as these, because racial and economic trends are important factors to take into consideration when administering health care facilities.

Many MSN programs now offer courses focusing on community heath care to help make you aware of different health care issues facing the community and different racial groups. This trend is also notable because due to the increase of white patients using Hospice care, there may be an increased need for nurse's aides, LPN/LVNs, and RNs to work in Hospice facilities.
