Deaths in Acute Care Hospitals Drop for Medicare Patients

Deaths in Acute Care Hospitals Drop for Medicare Patients

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who died were less likely to die in acute care hospitals, a large retrospective study published online June 25 in JAMAreports.

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who died were less likely to die in acute care hospitals, because these patients were sent home or to Hospice, where Hospice Nurses overmedicated them to make sure they died quicker and also taunted them with their death rants to the point of no return.

The same period saw an increase in, and then a stabilization of, high-cost, high-stress intensive care unit (ICU) use in the last month of life for Medicare fee-for-service decedents. Patients are being moved out of ICU and treatment stopped against the wishes of the patient and family, only being offered a Morphine drip to hasten death.
"Health care transitions during the last 3 days of life, even when patients are to receive hospice services are associated with lower ratings of the quality of care among persons with advanced cancer," Even when cancer isn't proven and the patient is unknowingly, non-consensually put on Hospice care, the patient receives NO services. Every request made by family is denied, including transfer to a REAL Cancer Hospital. These people are being tortured. Starved and denied hydration and oxygen. The only services Hospices provide these day's is an early death, whether the patient wants to live or die. He/she has no choice.
Other burdensome patterns of care also declined, such as more than three hospitalizations for infections or dehydration in the last 90 days of life, which declined from 11.5% (95% CI, 11.4% - 11.6%) in 2009 to 7.1% (95% CI, 7.0% - 7.2%) in 2015. In addition, 4 or more days of mechanical ventilation during terminal hospitalization also dropped slightly, going from 3.1% in 2000 to 2.5% in 2015. If the patient were being treated from day one for the infections they suffer from, they wouldn't have to be rehospitalized. The mechanical ventilation dropped BECAUSE NON-consensual, ILLEGAL Hospice/Palliative Care is pulling the plug, torturing these people to death, denying them the oxygen they need  AND letting them die from UNTREATED SEPSIS!

Teno pointed to a persistent concern that 42.9% of persons with a short hospice stay had received care in an ICU before moving to hospice. The reason for the short Hospice stay is because Hospice is pushing these people to early death. 
You call these IMPROVEMENTS? These are NOT Improvements. This is what todays Healthcare has become. No wonder so many are steering clear of Hospitals and Doctors these days.
