SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: The Assertive Social Worker & Chaplain
DESCRIPTION:The Assertive Social Worker & Chaplain\nAre the roles of social worker and chaplain properly recognized and appreciated in your organization? This webinar will focus on transforming these essential yet often under-the-radar functions into valued and well-understood contributors on the interdisciplinary team. Participants will learn how to present their role\, skills\, and capabilities clearly and confidently\, and how to use assertive communication (not aggression) to increase impact and collaboration. \nKEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYSThe difference between assertive\, aggressive\, and passive-aggressiveMethods chaplains and social workers can utilize to become assertive leaders and team guides around the psychosocial/spiritual needs of patients and families.The critical role of social workers and chaplains in IDT problem solvingTwo positive problem-solving models \nBONUS MATERIALS“How Assertive Are You?” self-assessment exerciseSituation examples that demonstrate assertive approaches to care and leadershipHandout with additional lecture notes and extensive list of resources \nWEBINAR DETAILSIn order to provide optimal patient/family care\, we cannot afford to have “invisible” team members – or those who go about providing care absent much involvement with or from the interdisciplinary team. Do you believe you are undervalued by the team and/or the organization? Then show up with value! That means making sure everyone knows who you are – your role\, your skillsets\, what you are capable of. To accomplish this\, you need to be assertive – not aggressive. This webinar will be about assuring hospice social workers and chaplains are clear about the pathway to becoming essential\, and well-understood\, members of the interdisciplinary team. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.

SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: Listening Transforms Patient & Family Experiences

SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: Maximize Compliance & Minimize Discrimination\, Harassment
DESCRIPTION:Manage Content to Maximize Compliance & Minimize Discrimination\, Harassment & Hostile Work Environment Claims\nBe proactive and stop risky content before it starts! It is possible to manage digital communication and mitigate the increased risk that accompanies the increased use of AI\, social media\, and e-collaboration tools in the workplace. Join expert Nancy Flynn to learn how to implement clear electronic communication policies\, define content rules that ban harassment and discrimination\, and use formal guidelines to prevent posts\, messages\, and media that can trigger lawsuits or serve as damaging evidence. \nKEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYSE-policies to ban the creating\, posting\, transmitting\, or accessing of content that could trigger lawsuits\, serve as evidence\, or otherwise create costly problemsContent rules outlawing harassment\, discrimination\, and incivility of any kindWhen it comes to business records\, the content is what counts \nBONUS MATERIALSFrom Email to Zoom: Netiquette Rules to Manage ContentRecords Retention Rules: Best Practices for Preserving\, Protecting\, Producing & Purging E-Business RecordsConfidential & Sensitive Information Policy for the Healthcare Industry \nWEBINAR DETAILSThe adoption of AI\, social media\, and e-collaboration tools has ramped up electronic risks\, including discrimination\, harassment\, and hostile work environment claims. No longer restricted to inappropriate email and unmanaged web surfing\, employees (accidentally and intentionally) share unlawful\, impolite\, and unprofessional content that defames patients\, maligns managers\, bullies colleagues\, exposes secrets\, and violates HIPAA. Whether on business or personal accounts\, the results can be disastrous. \nWhen it comes to managing electronic risks\, best practices call for the implementation of electronic policies\, complete with content rules banning harassment\, discrimination\, and incivility. According to the EEOC\, employees in workplaces without such policies suffer the highest levels of harassment. Attend this webinar to learn how to use formal guidelines to outlaw the creating\, posting\, transmitting\, or accessing of content — text\, photos\, videos\, art — that could trigger lawsuits\, serve as smoking-gun evidence in litigation\, or otherwise create costly problems for your organization. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.

SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: The Power of Pausing: Debriefing for Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Pausing: Debriefing for Clinician Sustainability\nWitnessing the suffering and distress of patients and families is understandably challenging. Peer-facilitated healthcare debriefings provide time to discuss the impact of the work\, normalize reactions\, and support resilience across careers. This presentation will review evidence that links debriefing programs to reduced staff attrition and healthier coping\, and provide practical steps to design\, implement\, and evaluate a debriefing program that addresses resistance\, secures leadership support\, and promotes equity of practice in any setting. \nKEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYSNatural consequences of working in healthcare on our emotions and behaviorThe evidence and value of social support to mitigate the harmful effects of this emotional workHealthcare debriefings as an institutionally supported model strategyHow to make the case and implement healthcare debriefings in your workplace \nBONUS MATERIALSMaking the case for debriefingsTraining manual to implement debriefings \nWEBINAR DETAILSHealthcare clinicians\, physicians\, nurses\, social workers\, etc. may experience a variety of emotions related to the work\, including sadness\, frustration\, grief\, guilt\, or isolation. Peer-facilitated healthcare debriefings offer intentional time for providers to talk about the impacts of the work. This evidence-based strategy normalizes\, validates\, and supports providers throughout their work and career. This in turn can directly impact the culture and coping strategies of a group\, unit\, or institution. \nThis workshop will review the strong evidence that supports debriefing programs and highlight the impact they can have on staff attrition. We will discuss the natural\, expectable consequences of working in healthcare and how ongoing debriefings support all staff at any level\, any time during their career. We will then move on to discuss how to design\, implement\, and evaluate a debriefing program. Addressing issues such as institutional resistance\, managerial support\, and equity of practice\, this webinar will leave the participant with a guide to implementing debriefings in their workplace. \nTHE OHPCA PARTNERS WITH HOSPICE & HOME CARE WEBINAR NETWORK PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AT A DISCOUNT TO OHPCA MEMBERS.

SUMMARY:Spring Intensive 2026
DESCRIPTION:Spring Intensive: Regulatory Update 2026\nBetter Together: Strengthening Care Through Community Partnership\nMay 7–8\, 2026  |  Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel  |  Portland\, Oregon\nJointly hosted by the Oregon Hospice & Palliative Care Association (OHPCA) and the Washington State Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (WSHPCO)\n\n\n\nRegister\n\nTentative Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetailed Schedule\n\nHotel & Travel\n\nSponsor / Exhibit\n\nContinuing Education\n\n\n\n\n\nConference Details\nDates: May 7–8\, 2026\nLocation: Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel\, Portland\, Oregon\nHosted by: OHPCA & WSHPCO\nContinuing Education: 10.75 Contact Hours / CEUs (see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Conference\nThe Spring Intensive: Regulatory Update is an annual conference jointly hosted by OHPCA and WSHPCO\, focused on the evolving regulatory landscape shaping hospice and palliative care. As providers continue to navigate ongoing changes related to payment reform\, compliance oversight\, and quality reporting requirements\, the need for accurate information and thoughtful interpretation of regulations remains essential.\nThis year’s program expands that focus by highlighting the important role of community partnership in delivering comprehensive\, person-centered end-of-life care. Better Together: Strengthening Care Through Community Partnership explores how collaboration with organizations and professionals outside of traditional hospice and palliative care can enhance care planning\, broaden available resources\, and better support patients and families throughout the end-of-life journey.\nIn addition to regulatory updates\, the Spring Intensive features perspectives from invited experts whose work intersects with end-of-life care but may fall outside the hospice and palliative care setting. These sessions are designed to help care teams better understand the expertise\, services\, and regulatory considerations that exist beyond their own organizations\, and how intentional collaboration can strengthen communication\, coordination\, and care delivery.\nBy examining how hospice and palliative care providers can work more effectively with community-based partners\, this year’s program offers practical insight into expanding the “menu” of support available to patients and families\, while continuing to meet regulatory expectations and deliver high-quality\, compassionate care.\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Type\n2 Days\n1 Day\nExhibitor Table\n\n\n\n\nOHPCA / WSHPCO Members\n$595 per person\n$350 per person\n$750\n\n\nNon-Members\n$850 per person\n$495 per person\n$1\,500\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\nSponsor / Exhibit\n\n\n\n\nHotel & Travel\nSheraton Portland Airport Hotel\n8235 NE Airport Way\, Portland\, OR 97220\n|\n\nView on Map\n\nPlease book your group rate for the OHPCA/WSHPCO Spring Intensive at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel\, offering a special group rate of $155 per night.\nLast day to book: Thursday\, April 23\, 2026\n\nBook the Hotel Room Block\n\n(If the room block appears full\, you may still wish to contact the hotel directly to ask about additional availability.)\n\n\n\nSponsorship Levels\n\nRunway Sponsor — $4\,000\nRunway Sponsors provide core support for the Spring Intensive and help make the conference possible.
