The Hospice Documentation Authority Collection: Assessment, Decline, and Survey Mastery

Assessment • Decline Language • Surveyor Insight

This Complete Series bundle was created for hospice nurses who want to document with confidence, support eligibility, and understand exactly how hospice charts are reviewed during surveys.
This bundle includes all three guides in the Hospice Documentation series, working together as a full documentation system — not just individual PDFs.
Written by a hospice RN, these guides translate real bedside care into clear, defensible, survey-aware documentation.
