Does it feel like starting from scratch every time a disruptive dynamic arises? This webinar will cover the four most common disruptive dynamics and define and showcase how using the Total Interdisciplinary Teams Approach can resolve disruptions without starting over.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- List four common dynamics that are problematic for caregivers
- Define the Total Interdisciplinary Teams (IDT) Approach to care, emphasizing the role of chaplains and social workers
- Implement the Total IDT Approach to resolve disruptive events
- Explain the use of counseling within these plans
- List three important policies and procedures to have in place and regularly reference
WEBINAR DETAILS
Caregivers frequently experience similar problematic, disruptive dynamics. Whenever a common dynamic arises, it can seem like trying to resolve the issue from scratch. However, the Total IDT Approach can be used with laser-like focus on specific goals and plans and help resolve disruptive events. This webinar will emphasize the role of the chaplains and social workers, break down the four most common dynamics, and showcase the Total Interdisciplinary Teams Approach. Join us to learn how to incorporate counseling within these situations, including motivational interviewing techniques specific to common dynamics and situations. Important policies and procedures to have in place will also be addressed.

OHPCA Hospice Program Administrator/Executive Director/Director Networking Call, 4:30-5:30 pm

The COVID-19 health crisis brought many changes and concerns to light. Emergency preparedness plans did not adequately prepare agencies for a pandemic of this nature. Take time to review the lessons learned and create a solid plan as PHE comes to an end, waivers expire, and infection control policies and procedures take priority in the home and office.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Understand how the federal regulatory waivers operate and when they expire
- Unwind operations based on federal and state waivers
- Consider telehealth’s use during the pandemic and its role moving forward
- Review concerns raised in the pandemic that will influence emergency preparedness planning
- Recognize how COVID-19 impacts agency infection control protocols
- Appreciate that infection control is no longer just a field staff issue
- Understand how the FFCRA court ruling and rule changes affect leave policies
WEBINAR DETAILS
With the announcement of a public health emergency in March, COVID-19 eclipsed PDGM as the homecare industry’s primary concern. Most emergency preparedness plans (EPPs) were woefully inadequate for an event of this magnitude. Although agencies have adapted to the “new normal” of COVID-19, it won’t be with us forever. Agencies must prepare for 2021 and beyond, but also memorialize the lessons learned, especially for EPP. Below are some of the major pandemic-related changes that should be reviewed and considered.
- Hospitals ceased elective procedures and physicians suspended practice, leading to reduced home health and hospice referrals
- Patients refused visits, fearing that agency staff would bring COVID-19 into their homes and SNFs and ALFs refused to allow agencies access to patients
- Insufficient PPE supplies and global demand made obtaining more extremely difficult, if not impossible
- Infection control protocols and new office standards were developed on the fly and implemented quickly
- Implementation of telemonitoring and other technology strategies reduced patient contact and helped control the spread of COVID-19
- PPP loans, HHS funds, and other government programs were designed to support operations during the resulting economic downturn
How will these changes continue to affect your agency? What can be gleaned to create a better emergency preparedness plan? How will your agency cope when the PHE ends in 2021 and waivers expire? This webinar will help you unwind operational changes made due to state and federal flexibilities and create a solid plan moving forward.

Caregiver burnout and job satisfaction are constant concerns in hospice, and COVID-19 has intensified the situation. Fortunately social workers and chaplains can legally and ethically provide support and counseling to co-workers and volunteers. Learn how!
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Define organization-sanctioned staff/volunteer support
- Discuss the importance of personal/professional boundaries
- Explain the relationship between “feeling supported” and job satisfaction and retention
- Identify the limitations of offering counseling to staff/volunteers
- Describe three methods where support can be provided effectively
WEBINAR DETAILS
Providing counseling and support to people in need is what social workers and chaplains do for a living, right? Shouldn’t that include co-workers and volunteers? The answer is both “yes” and “no,” because of legal and ethical challenges. This webinar will explore options for providing support to both staff and volunteers. Hospice work can be stressful and depleting, especially during end-of-life care – and the COVID-19 health crisis has intensified it. Many people are experiencing “COVID fatigue” on top of normal job stressors and caregiver burnout. Learn how social workers and chaplains can assist in ways that are legal, ethical, and reasonable.

Let’s talk about vaccines! For years there has been much fear and skepticism surrounding vaccines. The COVID-19 crisis has intensified this situation as a new vaccine is being developed. This webinar will clarify misinformation and improve agency compliance, patient health, and public safety.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Discuss the status of a COVID-19 vaccine
- Know how and when to implement a vaccine assessment tool
- Define who is considered high risk and a priority for vaccination
- Debunk vaccine myths
- Provide resources to patients and staff regarding which vaccines are critical, where to obtain them, and who pays for them
WEBINAR DETAILS
We live in an age of vaccine skepticism and are facing one of the biggest public health crises that require vaccine intervention. In less than a year, scientists and pharmaceutical industries around the world have rallied against COVID-19 and are chasing the first COVID-19 vaccine. Frontrunners are aiming for emergency use authorizations in early 2021. But concerns remain and amid that backdrop, top government experts are discussing safety and efficacy requirements, distribution plans, vaccine confidence, and more.
This webinar will present the facts surrounding COVID-19 vaccination, review the status of vaccine development, and what to anticipate once it’s available. It will also cover all critical and current vaccines available and recommendations for when to vaccinate based on disease status. Vaccines for flu and pneumonia continue to be recommended and may be in short supply due to the demand during the COVID-19 crisis. There is also a Vaccine Assessment Tool that agencies can implement for vaccine compliance. With proper education and information, agencies can dispel the myths and fears and better support the community, public health, patients, staff, and agency compliance.
Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
