A recent study in the Journal of Palliative Medicine examined how hospices in states where medical aid in dying (MAID) is legal share information about their participation policies. Researchers found that only 5.4% of hospices publicly post these policies online, leaving many patients and families without clear information when considering hospice care. Even when policies were available, they often lacked details about whether clinicians can discuss MAID, prescribe medication, or support patients through the process. Clear, accessible policy information is essential so patients and families can understand their options and make informed decisions about end-of-life care.
