Agency scores are publicly reported for all to review and compare across the nation – including referral sources and patients. The Scoring & Developing PIPs Package reviews how to use your QAPI program to drive desirable HCI outcomes.

Teamwork is defined as “the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal.” Though this sounds simple, staffing shortages, turnover, absenteeism, conflict, and burnout can lead a team astray. The pandemic impacted the way we work together. Teamwork is an essential part of a productive and satisfying workplace. When people know how to collaborate, they produce better quality work, meet organizational goals, and create a positive company culture. Join this educational webinar to attain the highest probability for success when assigning a team or individual.
This webinar will focus on hospice nurse and aide regulations, the CoPs, and critical role requirements. How to support eligibility through effective assessments, interdisciplinary team involvement, development of the plan of care, and documentation best practices will be detailed.

Participants will learn about aide oversight requirements and how to maintain compliance. The webinar will also cover the four levels of care, required documentation, and how to avoid high-risk admissions and triggering audits. This session will cover a lot of critical material and serve as a great resource for new hospice nurses, or as a refresher for agency hospice RN best practices.
