[2025-09-25T10:53:14.685155] [PI reasoning] **Assessing hospice care impact**

I'm looking into whether hospice care leads to better pain management, and the evidence suggests it likely does. Studies indicate that nursing home residents who receive hospice care report improved pain management. For instance, Teno et al. highlight that hospice services are indeed associated with more adequate pain management. Based on this, I would conclude that the answer is yes — hospice care does positively impact pain management.
