There is a growing interest in hospice care services to provide special care for dying patients and their families. The lack of measures of need for such services is addressed through a presentation of alternative estimates, in the form of criteria, for inpatient beds and home health care visits for hospice services. The estimates are applied to a medical center in order to demonstrate their use.
