At some point in life, you may be called upon to make a presentation. It may be in a professional or a personal setting, but it is likely inevitable. Some jobs require frequent presentations. For some people, these occasions are experienced as opportunities, while others are filled with dread and break into a cold sweat! Either way, this webinar can help ease your anxieties and teach you to seize these opportunities to get your point across with style and professionalism.

It will guide you through the four fundamental quadrants of emotional intelligence to be able to understand and harness the power of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and effective relationship management.

People, place, process, and progress: the "Four Ps" framework the presenter developed as a university director helped him lead a startup Community Engagement Center from its inception to a top 5 national ranking. This program will discuss these simple, yet powerful, concepts for leading change and growth in your organization and how they can motivate and crystallize your team’s sense of purpose and common mission.
Is your program so-so, pretty good, or exceptional? How do you know? Comparing yourself to other programs is not a useful benchmark since much depends on the size of the program, availability of highly qualified bereavement professionals, and availability of dedicated volunteers. Another contributing ingredient to achieving exceptionalism is an organizational understanding of the importance of a comprehensive approach to bereavement care. This webinar will explore what it means to create and maintain a high-quality bereavement program.
Hospice outcomes, including the elements in the hospice care index and CAHPS, are critical to understand and to have strategies for improving. This webinar will focus on key outcomes in QRP data, as well as the results of quality indicators and PIPs in the hospice QAPI program. It will review each outcome and drill down on how to improve each patient’s outcome thorough collaboration of care with a goal-oriented team. Action items will include education to engage staff, QAPI indicators, and performance improvement projects.

As healthcare continues to move toward value-based reimbursement, it is essential to an organization’s financial performance to integrate comprehensive surveillance into their infection control and prevention program.
Agencies are required to conduct a bereavement risk assessment, yet many are not certain what needs to occur next. What happens if/when it is determined that a person is suicidal and high risk? Is it possible for someone to be low risk today, but then high risk tomorrow? Is it OK to send mailings to people who are medium-to-high risk as a stand-alone intervention? What does “counseling” mean when Medicare says it must begin at the time of admission? This webinar will answer these common questions within the framework of developing exceptionalism in bereavement care and counseling.
More hospices are finding themselves under an audit of some nature: TPE, ADR, SMRC, etc. Recent reports have indicated that up to 77% of hospices have been subject to TPE in the last five years and more than 50% have had to submit to more than one type of simultaneous audit. Depending on the quality of your pre-bill auditing and clinical eligibility, these audits can take one to three years to complete and lead to a significant loss of financial resources.
This webinar will go through the regulatory requirements for claims and provide detailed information on what issues hospices are seeing as primary claim denials and how to proactively prevent these problems.
When talking about grief/loss interventions, one thing is clear: one single approach will never be the best approach for everyone. People grieve and mourn in different ways and in turn have very different needs. Some people find support groups helpful, and others do not. A lot has been learned about virtual programming and interventions throughout the COVID lockdowns.
This webinar will take an extensive look into the multitude of programming options and variables. It will also provide a three-phase approach to program expansion based on available resources and timeline goals.
There are nationwide industry trends shaping what hospice looks like and directly impacting the role of the hospice chaplain. To remain a vital part of an organization’s mission, and to provide the best quality support to the team, patients, and families, it is critically important for chaplains to adapt and grow to meet the changing needs.
This webinar will address the specifics of creating and maintaining an effective, integrated emergency management plan and program. It will also address how to complete an HVA and risk assessment.

Since the ending of the PHE in 2023, agencies must once again maintain compliance with emergency management direction. This webinar will be a great way to get your agency back on board with the required regulations.
Empathetic connections with patients and families across the end-of-life journey shape the quality of care and death experiences. Practitioners’ communication practices when conveying things such as health and treatment status changes or advance directives influence the bereavement process for all parties. This webinar will cover the forefront of research on best practice themes in active engagement and interpersonal communication to enhance the biopsychosocial and spiritual well-being of terminally ill patients.
Is your hospice or home care company prepared to manage legalized marijuana use by remote, hybrid, and onsite employees? Has your state’s MMP authorized you to administer cannabis to patients? As the march toward nationwide marijuana legalization continues, you can’t afford to leave cannabis compliance to chance. Employers are increasingly challenged by marijuana use by staff during and after working hours. While marijuana use remains illegal on the federal level, states are swiftly legalizing medical and recreational use.

Learn why and how to write best practices-based marijuana policy and procedures to communicate rules, manage expectations, support productivity, ensure safety, and comply with federal and state laws. Attend to learn the ABCs of evolving laws and effective marijuana policy for employees and patients.
