When a palliative care physician transitions out of a practice, ensuring seamless continuity of patient care is paramount. This **Palliative Care Physician Resignation Form** provides a structured framework for documenting critical patient information, care plans, and handover details that protect both patients and the practice during this sensitive transition.

Designed specifically for hospice and palliative care settings, this template captures everything from basic resignation details to complex patient symptom management protocols, advance directive documentation, family communication records, and on-call coverage arrangements. The form ensures that incoming physicians have immediate access to the nuanced, individualized care plans that palliative patients depend on.

**Paperform** makes this critical healthcare transition smoother and more secure. The platform's conditional logic adapts the form based on patient loads and transition timelines, while file upload capabilities allow physicians to attach comprehensive care documentation, meeting notes, and medication protocols. Integration with healthcare management systems means handover information flows directly into the right channels, and **Papersign** (papersign.com) enables secure electronic signatures on patient transfer agreements and confidentiality acknowledgments.

For medical practices managing physician transitions, **Stepper** (stepper.io) can automate the entire offboarding workflow—triggering credential reviews, notifying medical directors, updating patient rosters, scheduling handover meetings, and ensuring all compliance documentation is completed before the physician's final day. This level of automation is essential in healthcare environments where incomplete handovers can directly impact patient wellbeing.

Whether you're part of a hospital palliative care team, a standalone hospice organization, or a healthcare administration department, this template provides the professional structure needed to honor both the departing physician's contributions and the ongoing care needs of vulnerable patients during life's most challenging moments.
