How DAHN Works
DAHN — the Documentation App for Hospice Nurses was built by a hospice nurse for hospice clinicians to simplify one of the hardest parts of hospice care: documentation. DAHN helps hospice nurses write notes that clearly support eligibility while capturing the patient’s true clinical picture and it allows them to do this quickly, efficiently, and with full confidence in the field. Unlike artificial intelligence tools, DAHN is built on Expert Intelligence. Designed from real-world hospice experience and deep knowledge of hospice regulations. Nurses are fully in control of their notes. DAHN provides suggested wording, prompts, and phrases that support eligibility while remaining fully customizable for each patient’s unique situation.
