VITAS Advantage: Hospice Care in Hospitals

All hospices provide core services, our differentiators are what set us apart. Our objective is to provide you with the content tailored to your needs. Find the VITAS Advantage that’s right for you and your patients.

24/7/365 Clinical Care Support for Hospitals

From telephonic guidance to real-time clinical support, you need a hospice provider who’s always available.

Supporting Hospitals with Patients Requiring Complex Modalities

VITAS is equipped to take on patients who require complex modalities—patients for whom other hospice programs may lack resources or expertise to provide the necessary care.

Supporting Hospitals With Patients Requiring High-Acuity Care

Patients who require high-acuity care can strain your hospital's resources and negatively affect your performance rankings. VITAS can help by transitioning your eligible patients to hospice.

Open Formulary for Patients Transitioning Home From Hospitals

VITAS maintains an open formulary to ensure that patients transitioning to our care can continue the evidence-based therapies that help improve symptoms and quality of life.

Advanced Illness Specialists for Hospitals

If your patient's symptoms are difficult to control, their goals of care may seem like unattainable wishes.
