Meet Our Hospice Physicians

At Community Healthcare of Texas, our physicians are a vital part of the hospice team. Physicians provide guidance and medical oversight in the care of patients living with a life-limiting disease. Some primary care providers or specialty physicians may choose to follow their patient’s care while the patient is on our hospice service. Others defer primary/attending physician care to the hospice physician. If the hospice physician serves as the attending physician, a patient may continue to see their PCP or specialist for care not related to the hospice diagnosis.

Si el médico de atención primaria o el especialista deciden continuar como médico de cabecera del paciente, son responsables conjuntamente con el equipo interdisciplinario de Community Healthcare of Texas de establecer, revisar y actualizar el plan de atención del paciente.

Para que se pueda prestar atención de hospicio, Community Healthcare of Texas debe obtener una orden de evaluación y tratamiento de hospicio, así como una certificación de que, sobre la base de la experiencia clínica del médico, el pronóstico del paciente es de una esperanza de vida de seis meses o menos si la enfermedad terminal sigue su curso normal.
