User Reviews

Overall, reviews praise the VITAS Hospice Care app for its very user-friendly interface, strong educational value (clear referral criteria, prognostication guidance, and access to current literature), and clinically accurate content. It is seen as a practical, credible resource for healthcare professionals and the broader community, with many recommending it. A minority report isolated issues (PDF download problems and erroneous 'no internet' messaging), but these concerns are not widely echoed across reviews.

The VITAS App can be used to teach residents/fellows/students about criteria for referral to hospice and provides guidance to staff. I encourage all to download this resource!
