Yukon Hospice Referral Form (YG 6898)

Someone from the patient's health care team completes this one-page Yukon form (YG 6898) to refer a person for hospice in a continuing care facility, namely Wind River Hospice House at Whistle Bend Place in Whitehorse. It captures physician involvement, the palliative diagnosis, Palliative Performance Scale score and prognosis. It must accompany the Continuing Care Facility Referral form.

Who completes it

A member of the health care team records the referring, family and attending physicians, whether a palliative care physician is involved, the diagnosis, PPS score, prognosis, and patient and family awareness of the diagnosis and prognosis. The general Continuing Care referral covers the rest of the applicant's details.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Fax it with the completed Continuing Care Facility Referral form to Continuing Care, using the number printed on the form.

Good to know

  • Wind River Hospice House admits adults with an advanced life-limiting illness and a prognosis of 3 months or less; longer prognoses and patients under 18 are considered case by case.
  • Admission also requires a do-not-resuscitate order, a valid Yukon health care card, Yukon residency, lawful status in Canada and a referral from a health care provider.
  • Respite stays of about 2 to 4 weeks are for anyone with a palliative diagnosis and a prognosis of 12 months or less, giving regular caregivers a break.
  • A palliative care physician takes part in hospice intake, so the form asks whether one is already involved and, if so, their name.
