The opioid crisis and hospice care: Exploring key partner experiences
The opioid epidemic has changed policies and practices governing opioid access and use, and little is known about how these shifts may influence the delivery and experience of hospice care. To explore key partner perceptions of how the opioid crisis has shaped hospice care, we conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with hospice administrators and providers. Because of the opioid crisis, hospice partners described challenges with understanding and implementing new policies governing opioid prescribing and disposal; increased need for misuse prevention and control activities; and decreased willingness among some providers, caregivers, and patients to engage with opioids, even when critical to symptom management or directed by law. Study insights may guide education and support for providers related to new and changing laws and help inform strategies to maintain safe and effective hospice care during public health emergencies like the opioid crisis.
