Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? If we move away from clinician referrals as the means by which people get access, how do we keep the clinicians engaged, and not enraged?

So one that the primary outcome was supposed to be documentation, which it improved documentation, it wasn’t powered to actually look at any utilization or hard outcomes. Get the hospice referral. They’re looking at difficult outcomes, utilization outcomes, right? They were slightly mischaracterized. Rachelle: Yeah.

We were the highest utilizers of telemedicine in the whole UCSF health system at that time which we’re very proud of. So if you count talking to a nurse on the telephone and then writing an electronic prescription as a form of telemedicine, that was the norm for hospice prescribing of controlled substances even before the pandemic.
