Exploring Exceptionalism: Assisting Patients & Families to Plan for the Time of Death

01/04/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

Often families will use the time-of-death experience as a benchmark for how well the hospice team performed overall. So it is critical to devote skills and time to making concrete time-of-death plans. Many believe that patients and families don’t want to talk about this topic. However, the hospice team must focus on the importance of helping terminally ill people and their family members through this meaningful life event. This webinar will closely examine all aspects of developing a plan for the time of death.

Workplace Violence: Keeping Yourself & Staff Safe During the Workday

01/09/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

The first thing that comes to mind for most people at the mention of workplace violence is an active shooter situation. However, the issue of workplace violence is much broader than this one type of extreme incident. Most cases are verbal or physical attacks that rarely involve a weapon. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health study in 2007 indicated that 20% of home health aides reported verbal abuse in the past year and 5% reported threats of violence. It is also believed that many threats or violent acts go unreported.

AI Risks & Rules for Healthcare: Using ChatGPT Without Violating HIPAA, Patient Privacy, or the Law

01/10/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

Unfortunately, the regulatory status of using AI to transcribe and summarize patient information is unclear. While it’s tempting to use AI to summarize patient conversations and enter them in 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 AI risks as well, including discrimination claims resulting from the use of biased AI talent acquisition software.

VBID Update: Hospice Benefit Component & Medicare Advantage

01/11/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

This webinar will cover the details of the Value-Based Insurance Design Model – Hospice Benefit Component. Medicare Advantage (MA) has long had coverage for home health patients, but there has never been coverage for hospice. VBID is a demonstration that began January 1, 2021. There have been many changes to the Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAO) participating in 2024 as the demonstration has now been extended through 2030. The differences in coverage for an in-network versus an out-of-network provider will be reviewed as will the allowance of MAO plans to force patients to elect in-network only. CMS requires that MAOs provide beneficiaries with broad access to the complete original Medicare hospice benefit.

As we move into 2024 the question still remains: what will the final Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) model look like? The challenge for hospices is how to prepare.

02/01/2024

12:00 pm

Webinars

It may be tempting to think that if a person has more experience, they must be providing a higher level of care. But the truth is, experience alone does not necessarily make for exceptional social work practice. What does it look like? What’s wrong with just meeting the minimum standard? What more could be done? What if you already feel overworked!? This webinar will define and explore the concept of exceptionalism in social work practice and look at ways to offer higher levels of care without necessarily putting in more time.
