A period of crisis is when a patient requires continuous care that is predominantly nursing care to achieve palliation or management of acute medical symptoms.” This type of care may be provided in the patient’s home or a long-term-care facility. It is not applicable for patients in an in-patient hospice unit, a hospital, or skilled nursing facility. WHAT TYPES OF SYMPTOMS REQUIRE CONTINUOUS CARE?
