How to prepare and coordinate a hospice referral

When to refer

  • The patient has a life-limiting illness and comfort-focused care may be appropriate.
  • Symptoms, hospitalizations, or functional decline are increasing.
  • The family needs guidance before the next transition of care.

How to send a referral

  • Call 214-506-8422 for direct referral guidance.
  • Confirm the appropriate secure transfer process with the care team before sending referral documentation.
  • Do not send patient information or medical records through ordinary email.
