Applying Motivational Interviewing to End-of-Life Care Challenges

04/08/2025

3:00 pm

Webinars

If patients and families were to read their charts, would they recognize their plans? Would they say, “Yes, these are our goals, and we are clear about the work needed to get there”? It’s time to abandon the rut of assuming clients are noncompliant. The problem isn’t them; it’s us! Instead of trying to get people to comply with plans created for them, plans need to be created that people are motivated to achieve – their plans. This webinar will explore motivational interviewing skills and techniques by applying them to classic challenging end-of-life care situations. (Incidentally, motivational interviewing techniques can also be instrumental in our personal lives.)

Volunteer Manager Series

04/10/2025

All Day

Webinars

Courses for volunteer managers frequently cover the basics but fail to answer critical questions such as, “What data should I collect?”, “How should I use this information?”, “How do I assess a volunteer’s competency?”, and “How can I get beyond the 5% requirement by including professional volunteers?”. This series will answer these questions and more. It will explore the knowledge and skills volunteer managers need to be effective at improving patient/family care and organizational functioning via the use of volunteers. Let’s remember that the overall goal is to see volunteers actively engaged everywhere we look!

Boldly Marketing Your Service Benefits

04/16/2025

3:00 pm

Webinars

The average time spent on hospice service is still woefully short of the potential support our patients deserve – which we know we can provide. But first, potential patients have to know about your agency and be willing to engage. This is a marketing problem. Join this informative program to learn how to take bold steps to clarify and demonstrate hospice benefits, so patients come on service sooner and for longer.

This presentation will cover best practices for conducting an effective audit of hospice documentation, pinpointing the highest risk focus areas.

From technical to clinical requirements, this session will go step-by-step through an effective hospice documentation audit. You’ll learn how to identify risk areas to incorporate into performance improvement to avoid both survey and financial penalties for your agency. With enhanced oversight, the special focus program, and pre- and post-payment ADRs, compliant hospice documentation is more critical than ever to meet Medicare eligibility requirements. If your agency has had any survey or ADR challenges related to hospice documentation, this webinar is for you.

Volunteer Manager Series: All About Volunteer Competencies

04/24/2025

3:00 pm

Webinars

Medicare says, “A hospice must assess the skills and competence of all individuals furnishing care, including volunteers…” Are you doing that and is it meaningful or just enough to get by? If you had a loved one using your program, would you be OK with a volunteer straight out of your initial training program? Would they be competent? Join us for a look at what it means to assess volunteer competency from the beginning and throughout their hospice involvement.

A Balanced Hospice Dashboard - Key Data to Aid in Running a Better Business

04/30/2025

3:00 pm

Webinars

In the hospice industry, the census is often seen as the most critical measure of success. However, focusing solely on the census can be misleading and damaging. This webinar will conceptualize a balanced hospice dashboard, a tool designed to help managers and leaders track the execution of goal-enhancing activities using a full range of metrics. You’ll learn why “balance” is essential and how it can help your organization achieve equilibrium among financial outcomes, clinical operations and quality, patient and family satisfaction, team engagement, and referral relationships. You will also receive insight into uncovering root causes, identifying trends, and creating a culture of accountability and visibility.
