A community approach to the provision of hospice care utilizing existing community institutions in the metropolitan Washington, DC, area was started as a pilot project among three entities: the Washington Home, a licensed, skilled nursing facility, which served as the hospice inpatient unit; Georgetown University Hospital and its home care program, which were to serve as the sole referral sources; and Group Hospitalization, Inc., the local Blue Cross Plan. Insufficient referrals resulted in expansion of referral sources to include other hospice home care providers and acute care hospitals in the general community. As other community hospices developed, the Blue Cross Plan expanded the pilot program and fostered the communitywide coordination of hospice services.
