ABSTRACT
Little attention has been paid to documenting the quality and impact of hospice bereavement programs. While quality of life, quality of dying, and quality of end-of-life measures are common indicators of effective clinical service, they are not adequate gauges of quality from a bereavement perspective. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) published standards for hospice and palliative care programs that included a section on bereavement care. Little evaluative work has been done to discover whether hospice programs nationwide are compliant with these standards. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether hospice programs (n = 32) in the state of Ohio were meeting the NHPCO bereavement standards. Findings indicated that the participating hospice programs were 83 percent compliant at least some of the time.
