Has your agency conducted a detailed assessment plan for entering managed markets? Now is the time to consider the opportunities presented from a continuously changing and growing hospice landscape.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Explain the new contracting opportunities for hospice in 2021
- Describe key elements of a managed care strategy/business plan
- Understand third-party payer needs, processes, and goals
- Identify and sell your agency’s value proposition

- Differentiate between good and bad contracting opportunities
WEBINAR DETAILS
CMS continues to move towards involving hospice care in value-based payment programs, such as the forthcoming 2021 Medicare Advantage (MA) carve-in. This is considered to be the most impactful value-based initiative for hospice. The details of how the carve-in will work are not yet defined, however it’s anticipated that the MA plans will not limit hospice care to the last six months of life. CMS’s intention is to increase access to hospice services and facilitate coordination between hospice providers and clinicians, thus incorporating hospices into an integrated care continuum. CMS does not intend to eliminate the Medicare hospice benefit’s per diem payment model. This presents opportunities for agencies to enter value-based payment programs.
Is your agency prepared for the opportunities with managed markets? What about value-based payment programs? The contracting process? What are your managed markets strategic plans? What value propositions make contracting with you a MUST? This webinar is designed to help your agency answer those questions and understand the dos and don’ts of successful managed care contracting. Due diligence before entering a contract is critical to success.
Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is intended for executive and agency leadership involved with strategic growth, marketing, and planning. This includes CEOs, CFOs, DOPCs, directors of managed markets/business development, intake/referral staff, case managers, provider network relations staff, board members and advisors, sales/marketing personnel, business office managers, clinical leadership, and medical directors.

Protect your agency during a malpractice suit and improve patient care with documentation. Ensure your team is prepared and understands the proper processes and potential consequences of inadequate charting.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Determine the difference between correcting and altering records
- Assess a medical record correction using the SLIDE rule
- Use the “chunk and check” technique to determine the patient’s understanding and likely follow through
- Recognize the risks of altering a medical record
- Explain why documenting patient telephone calls is essential
- Judge the gaps in report tracking that result in patient injury
- Reduce the risk of medication errors
- Avoid common errors in electronic recordkeeping
- Describe the consequences of not documenting a patient’s failure to follow through
WEBINAR DETAILS
The true importance of documentation is to improve patient care. When records are kept carefully and consistently, the treatment team provides better care. This care experience is a significant event in a patient’s life. If a malpractice suit is filed, the patient will recall the “facts” in minute detail. However, a caregiver’s recollections may be considered unsubstantiated if not properly documented – even if based on standard practice. The patient’s recollections are unsubstantiated, but patients are not obligated to keep records. Fortunately, concise recordkeeping that accurately reflects the care provided and related reasoning carry greater weight with a jury, unless something is done to discredit the records.
In court, the patient’s attorney will often ask how many patients you care for during an average day. That number is then multiplied by the number of days, weeks, and years since the time in question. With so many patients, how can you remember this situation so well? Who did you care for after this patient? Which nurses were on duty that day? What time did you get back from lunch? These issues have nothing to do with the malpractice suit, but can influence the jury to give the patient’s memory more weight. Medical records may be your best friend or worst enemy in the courtroom. If properly prepared, they are the best, and sometimes the only, defense during malpractice litigation.
Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for all personnel who document patient care, quality improvement directors, medical and nursing directors, risk managers, and leadership.

Learn to work through common and challenging situations using counseling techniques from theoretical frameworks such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness awareness, and the Dual Process Model of Grief.
