End-of-Life Care in Texas
Key findings from the Last Acts Analysis on the status of end-of-life care in Texas revealed:
· Less than 1/4 of Texans die at home, although most say they would prefer to die at home in familiar and comfortable surroundings
· The State's Pain Management policies as currently structured may actually create barriers to good pain management.
· Less than 1/3 of Texas hospitals (31%) report offering pain management programs.
· Just 28% of people over the age of 65 who die in Texas utilize hospice care and the median length of hospice care for those who do use this form of care is only 25 days.
