Healthy Growth in a Changing Environment is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Explore recent and future changes in the hospice industry and their impact on growth. Consolidation, hospital closings, pay for performance, changes in caps and reimbursement, requirements for quality and outcome reporting, and intense focus on compliance have affected hospice providers’ approach to growth. End-of- life care remains fragmented, misunderstood, and underused, though the need for it will increase as America ages. This workshop will help hospice providers get ready for what’s ahead by reviewing changes in the Medicare hospice benefit regarding HIS and CAHPS, physician payment for end-of-life discussions, and discharge planning, as well as industry consolidation. These developments present challenges, but you can turn them into chances with our “to-do list” for success.
