Critical thinking is the art and science behind the provision of the best possible end-of-life care. Part of this process is continually asking “Is this really true?”. In end-of-life care, staff want to help people who are suffering and who frequently ask questions with no definitive answer. “Can my husband hear me?” “Why did my husband die after I left the room? I promised him I would be at his side.”
In attempting to provide comfort, “hospice urban myths” have evolved over the years. These myths have been passed along so many times that they begin to feel as if they are actually true, when in fact, that is often not the case.

The role of a home health or hospice clinical manager is crucial! Although frequently filled by top-performing clinicians, clinical expertise does not always translate into effective management abilities.

In addition, it will explore strategies to support clinicians aspiring to transition into clinical management roles and how to effectively coach staff or apply disciplinary measures.

This webinar will cover all aspects of quality reporting and agency reports that all clinical leadership should be aware of and monitoring.

It will touch on additional areas of management responsibility, including infection prevention and control and emergency management, and wrap up the series by discussing the final rule and regulatory updates for FY 2026.
While it’s tempting to use AI to summarize patient conversations and enter them into your electronic health records system, you must weigh the benefits of reducing administrative burdens against the risk of violating patient privacy and triggering HIPAA fines and legal action. Hospice and home care companies face other risks as well, including discrimination claims resulting from the use of biased talent acquisition AI tools. This program will take a comprehensive look at the AI/ChatGPT risks, rules, and regulations facing healthcare companies. You’ll learn to use best practices-based AI policy, training, and tech tools to manage ChatGPT use and stave off discrimination claims, malicious intruder attacks, and lost revenues. You’ll leave with tips, tools, and other valuable resources to help minimize AI/ChatGPT risks, manage content and use, and maximize compliance with HIPAA and the courts.

It will also present ADR instructional information, audit tools/checklists to incorporate into your routine QA and compliance processes, when and how to perform routine audits, and what to do with audit results.
