Improve your hospice agency’s quality reporting scores and patient experience through social worker and spiritual caregiving.
With an increase in hospice oversight, documentation of social workers and spiritual caregivers is critical to supporting eligibility. This webinar will cover social work and spiritual care regulations, levels of licensing, assessment guidance, documentation, and how to stay involved when visits are refused.
The mind-body connection is an increasingly popular topic in healthcare.
It is the link between a person's thoughts and attitudes and their behaviors and physical health. Go beyond the numbers with this innovative webinar on how telehealth can improve health outcomes and increase quality care using the mind-body connection.
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. Ongoing compliance challenges with an emphasis on best practices for both nursing and aide services will be reviewed. 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.
Many hospices are facing Medicare claims audits such as TPE, ADR, SMRC, etc. and receiving clinical denials. This session will review what these clinical denials look like and explore how to reduce the risk of claim denials through effective oversight of your patient population. It will clarify how the MACs are applying the hospice eligibility guidelines and define best processes to manage patients whose terminal illness stops following the anticipated trajectory.
