Hospice 2024
Faster Innovation Needed to Better Meet Unique Needs
Across the market, hospice agencies are frustrated that their HIT vendors aren’t prioritizing hospice care as they should, leading to low customer satisfaction that has continually decreased over time for most vendors. While several vendors have recently tried to address long-standing concerns through acquisitions or further development of their hospice product, most respondents want more to be done to allow for strong hospice care. To aid agencies in finding the best solution for their needs in a low-performing market, this report—an update to the Hospice 2023 report—examines which vendors best provide hospice-specific workflows, meet expectations for innovation and development, and support broad functionality through integration.
