LVF S1 EP8 - The Future of the Hospice Physician: HOPE, Staffing, Technology with Dr. Mayo & Dr. Richter
Last Visit First
The role of the Hospice Medical Director is changing. For years, the industry relied on contracted physicians primarily for administrative oversight—but with new regulations like the HOPE assessment and rising acuity in patients, the "paperwork doctor" model is no longer enough.
In this episode, Tom sits down with two of the most respected clinical leaders in the country: Dr. Andrew Mayo (Chief Medical Officer, St. Croix Hospice) and Dr. Tiffany Richter (Chief Medical Officer, Agape Care Group).
They break down the debate between full-time vs. contracted physicians, the "hybrid" model that is winning, and the heartbreaking regulatory gaps preventing dialysis patients from accessing hospice care. Plus, they share deeply personal stories that remind us why we do this work.
