Hospice utilization and length of stay. Percent of CARE Track patients who were referred to hospice prior to death, and median hospice length of stay (days) were compared to UVA controls and subset of controls seen by palliative care only on the inpatient service. CARE Track patients were significantly more likely to be referred to hospice and had a longer length of stay on hospice care than either control group.
