Durable Medical Equipment Provided to the Patient

Hospice care often requires the use of durable medical equipment (DME) to help manage symptoms and maintain patient comfort. DME refers to equipment that is designed to withstand repeated use and is primarily used for medical purposes. Here are some examples of DME that may be used in hospice care:

Hospital Beds

Hospital beds are used to provide a comfortable and safe sleeping environment for hospice patients who may be bedridden or have difficulty getting in and out of bed. They can be adjusted to various positions, allowing patients to find a comfortable position

Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs are used to help patients with mobility issues move around more easily. They come in a variety of styles and can be electric or manual.

Oxygen equipment

Oxygen equipment is used to help patients with respiratory issues breathe more easily. This can include portable oxygen concentrators or oxygen tanks.

Lift Chairs

Lift chairs are used to help patients get in and out of a seated position. They can be particularly helpful for patients with mobility issues.

Bathroom Safety Equipment

Bathroom safety equipment includes items such as shower chairs, commodes, and grab bars. These items are designed to help patients use the bathroom safely and comfortably.

Wound Care Supplies

Wound care supplies such as wound dressings, gauze, and tape may also be considered DME.

Overall, the use of DME in hospice care can help to improve patient comfort and quality of life. Hospice agencies work closely with patients and their families to determine which DME is necessary and to ensure that it is provided in a timely and appropriate manner.
