In the hospice industry, the census is often seen as the most critical measure of success. However, focusing solely on the census can be misleading and damaging. This webinar will conceptualize a balanced hospice dashboard, a tool designed to help managers and leaders track the execution of goal-enhancing activities using a full range of metrics. You’ll learn why “balance” is essential and how it can help your organization achieve equilibrium among financial outcomes, clinical operations and quality, patient and family satisfaction, team engagement, and referral relationships. You will also receive insight into uncovering root causes, identifying trends, and creating a culture of accountability and visibility.
For a concept so often discussed, most people actually know very little about it. Denial is likely misdiagnosed much of the time, or at least, it’s only partially correct. In addition, many are unaware of how best to respond when actual denial is present. Quick hint: a person’s coping method should never be taken away without skillfully working with them to adopt an alternative strategy. This webinar will explore several “stage or level” models for denial and present and address common behaviors that actually aren’t denial at all. The bulk of the webinar will be spent on discussing skillful ways to intervene.
They are also challenging, taxing, unnerving, and anxiety inducing! But what if you could morph those awkward conversations into “uncertainty” rather than “struggle”? What if you could reroute people’s hesitancy to give feedback and overcome their stumbling blocks? Whether you're coaching a team member, addressing performance concerns, or delivering constructive feedback, this presentation will be invaluable.
Failure to safeguard PHI, privacy, and business records could trigger regulatory audits, lawsuits, disgruntled patients, and decreased revenues. You must act now to manage videoconferencing and meeting platforms with strategic e-policies and procedures. Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, and other e-collaboration platforms escalate records risks. When it comes to risks, records, and rules, e-collaboration tools are no different from email and social media.
Attend this program to learn how to create and implement best practices-based policies and procedures to manage records, content, and use on Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, and other e-collaboration tools. As a bonus, participants will receive a three-part white paper designed to help implement an e-collaboration policy program to minimize risks, manage use, and maximize compliance.
Managing expectations is a process of helping people know how to be right and when to be satisfied. In hospice, home care, home health, and palliative care settings, patients and their families are often under tremendous stress. Since people may not be at their best, how can unrealistic expectations be managed in a respectful way?
For caregivers, the personal rewards of providing healthcare services are closely linked to the quality of relationships developed with clients and their families. How can you create a positive experience for every client, even when time is limited? Discover the key driver of client satisfaction and how to strategically focus on two things that almost every person wants. Attend this session to learn and appreciate how you make a difference, even in brief relationships.
Hospice documentation must be very descriptive to support the terminal diagnosis and terminality throughout the hospice course of care. This requires nurses and hospice teams to look at patient improvement and decline from visit to visit. Some items require frequent documentation such as mid-arm circumference (MAC)/weight, wound characteristics, cognition, ADLs, and self-care.
This webinar will address the hospice specifics and focus areas that should be addressed in documentation to support terminality and hospice eligibility. It will review chronic versus terminal status, standardized tools, congruent documentation, key focus areas (per the LCD guidelines), and hospice eligibility. In addition, it will break down the challenged documentation areas and how to avoid those challenges. This will be a very focused webinar, excellent for nursing staff, leadership, QA personnel, and any new clinicians.
