The Invisible Velvet Glove on the Spigot of Growth

10/18/2023

12:00 pm

Webinars

When an organization hits the wall in terms of growth, or worse yet declines, external factors are typically blamed. Competition has increased, the regulatory environment has shifted, the customer base is fickle, etc. While these can be the cause, this innovative webinar will propose that internal factors, known as “invisible velvet gloves” are more likely the culprit. Broken processes, lack of urgency, ineffective teamwork, and many other factors control an agency’s “spigot of growth” beyond imagination. This likely has to do with two important factors. First, your agency may be missing a strong positive culture of growth from within. Second, there may not be a well-developed and articulated referral development plan to follow. This webinar will provide the knowledge, information, and tools to keep your spigot flowing!

Patient Satisfaction, Engagement & Agency Growth for Hospice Managers

10/26/2023

12:00 pm

Webinars

The three-part Hospice Clinical Manager Series will conclude with a focus on agency quality reporting, patient engagement and satisfaction, and business growth. Clinical managers must have a strong understanding of how quality impacts overall patient satisfaction and reimbursement. There are multiple reports that come from claims data which are interpreted as quality measures that management must know. Learn how to lead your team and elevate your scores using those critical reports and quality measures. This webinar will also review the latest updates for CY2024, along with payment models such as VBID and the Hospice Benefit Component. Agencies located in a region with Medicare Advantage plans taking part in this new payment model will benefit from attending as their leadership responsibilities will be addressed in detail. Future growth projections, current CMS and state concerns, and what to watch as 2023 winds down will also be reviewed.
