Critical Skills for Volunteers: Boundaries, Suicide Intervention, Grief & Loss

04/04/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

After completing training, your volunteers should be fully prepared for the work they face. Most programs utilize a standardized curriculum that meets Medicare guidelines, yet those topics are meant to be “minimum standards” and miss some very important issues and necessary skills. This webinar will explore several critical skills, including setting and maintaining personal and professional boundaries, the critical importance of supervising volunteer boundaries, volunteers’ part in suicidal ideation intervention, their role in assessing and providing grief and loss support and guidance, and other important dynamics.

Looking Under the Hood: Fine Tuning Your Operating Model

04/09/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

Your operating model is a three-legged stool: providing care, business development (patient acquisition), and financial performance. Each leg is comprised of many systems and procedures. How well these systems and procedures function drives performance throughout the organization. With this webinar, you’ll learn the essential elements of each leg. More importantly, you’ll be able to identify the means and methods to improve the systems and procedures that support these critical elements. You’ll walk away with practical approaches to strengthen your operating model, serve more people, and grow.

Compliance for the Hospice Bereavement Team

04/10/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

Part 5 of this five-part compliance series will review the CoP requirement for bereavement counseling as a core hospice service. It will cover key regulations for bereavement care and provide recommendations for best and preferred practices and program structure. Who is qualified to provide these services? Who will receive these services? Setting up a bereavement plan of care as well as how to implement and measure your bereavement program for effectiveness will be addressed. Bereavement care is not just something a hospice agency implements upon death. It requires ongoing assessments, and many agencies fall short. This webinar will identify all areas where bereavement risk can be identified, discussed, and addressed.

Record Retention Rules for Hospice & Home Care Providers

04/11/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

Mismanaged, misplaced, or missing medical and business records are more than a nuisance. They are a liability. You are required to preserve, protect, produce, and purge records, including PHI, EPHI, personally identifiable information (PII), and other business-critical information in compliance with HIPAA, federal legislation, state data breach notification laws, and e-discovery guidelines. Best practices call for strategic records management programs, complete with comprehensive records retention policy and procedures. Failure to safeguard PHI and EPHI could lead to HIPAA investigations, financial penalties, and disgruntled patients. Mismanagement of business records, including PII and electronically stored information (ESI), could trigger costly lawsuits, damaged reputations, and decreased revenues. Attend this program to learn best practices-based strategies for effective records management. You’ll leave with a package of valuable tools, including a sample records retention policy, record retention guidelines, and an informative whitepaper to help your organization manage records, minimize risks, and maximize compliance.
