Interprofessional collaboration enhances quality end-oflife care leading to a dignified death. Hospice care uses an interdisciplinary approach to optimize quality of life and mitigate impacts of serious illness. Interventions to improve hospice care delivery have been proven to be effective, but little is known about nursing home staff preparedness, implementation of hospice education, and interprofessional communication. Research is limited on how hospice care can be implemented into the nursing home setting. The purpose of this study was to determine if education combined with a communication tool improved nursing home staff knowledge and improved communication with the hospice team. The descriptive study invited participants to take a preseminar and postseminar survey to assess end-of-life preparedness in terms of willingness, capability, and resilience. A communication tool was implemented to measure collaboration with the hospice team over 3 months. The results from this study suggest education combined with interprofessional communication improves end-of-life care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
