Hospice Pharmacia (HP) is proud to provide your hospice with the most comprehensive, clinical and cost reference tool for use in hospice care – the MUGs. Different than a traditional formulary, HP’s MUGs bring symptom-based clinical decision tools together with information about the relative cost of medications. The MUGs are a valuable tool when used in collaboration with our experienced clinicians, resulting in compassion, dignity and positive outcomes for the patient. Though often imitated, only HP has the expert knowledge and experience to produce this industry-leading publication. The MUGs are peer-reviewed and updated annually.

"The MUGs have been a very beneficial tool, especially for nurses new to hospice. The way the information is laid out breaks it down easy for nurses. I really appreciate the algorithms." — Janet Champoux, Hospice Clinical Manager, Mercy Medical Center Hospice in Canton, OH
