The following functionality is coming soon to Axxess Hospice. Axxess will alert you when this feature is available. Check your messages in Axxess Hospice for important alerts from Axxess.

Axxess Hospice now prompts users to update the patient’s service location when completing a discharge, readmission, recertification, or level of care change through a physician order. New fields also appear in the Service Locations section of each patient’s chart, so users have a more comprehensive view of patients’ service locations. These enhancements streamline service location documentation and tracking.

To edit a patient’s service location, users must have permission to view and edit patient charts in Axxess Hospice.
