Who We Help · Hospice & Palliative Care

Your team chose this work to care for people. Not to fight paperwork.

Hospice and palliative care clinicians carry an emotional weight that no other specialty matches. Administrative burden doesn't just hurt efficiency — it takes your team further from the work that drew them here. Sherpa Care removes the friction so the hours go to patients and families, not documentation queues.

The challenges you're dealing with every day

We built Sherpa Care for these exact pressures — not adapted from hospital software that doesn't fit your world.

Documentation burden in the most human moments

Hospice clinicians are managing family grief, complex symptom control, and end-of-life decisions — while also being expected to produce complete, compliant documentation in real time. The cognitive load is unsustainable.

Regulatory compliance in a high-scrutiny setting

CMS scrutinizes hospice documentation more heavily than almost any other care setting. PEPPER reports, face-to-face requirements, and certification documentation errors trigger audits and repayment demands.

Interdisciplinary team coordination across sites

Social workers, chaplains, nurses, and physicians all touching the same patient record — often from different locations. Coordination without a unified system means missed updates and duplicated effort.

Family communication and care plan transparency

Families need to understand the care plan, the trajectory, and what to expect. Most EHRs weren't designed with family-facing communication in mind — leaving care teams to improvise.

Volunteer and aide documentation gaps

Hospice programs rely on volunteers and home health aides whose visit documentation often falls outside the main clinical workflow — creating compliance gaps and incomplete records.

Length of stay and recertification complexity

Getting recertification documentation right, on time, without triggering audit risk requires precision that manual processes can't reliably deliver.

How Sherpa Care delivers

Ambient documentation during patient visits

Lisa AI listens, generates the clinical narrative, and lets the clinician stay present with the patient and family — not distracted by a keyboard. The note is ready when the visit ends.

Compliance-first documentation

Face-to-face documentation, certification requirements, and PEPPER-sensitive documentation are flagged and validated in real time — before submission, not after an audit.

Interdisciplinary team coordination

One unified record for the full IDT — nurse, social worker, chaplain, physician, aide. Real-time updates across all disciplines with role-based access so everyone sees what they need.

Automated recertification workflow

Recertification triggers are tracked automatically. Documentation packages are assembled from existing visit data — reducing the manual burden that causes late or incomplete submissions.

Symptom management and care plan tracking

Structured symptom tracking, medication reconciliation, and care plan updates that follow the patient through every visit — giving the full clinical picture at a glance.

Grief support and bereavement documentation

Bereavement follow-up tasks, family contact logs, and post-death documentation workflows built into the platform — not managed through spreadsheets.

In a world where health IT can be complex, Mona Lisa Health's Sherpa Care stands out. Their care coordination approach is clear and intuitive. It changes the experience for both providers and patients.
