Description

This session will delve into the responsibilities required in managing hospice patients and families from a psychosocial and emotional perspective. 

Counseling services continue to be under-utilized and yet very needed in the Medicare hospice patient setting. Now is the time to learn how to advocate for the role of counseling services.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Enumerate the core services required by the Conditions of Participation
• Describe how social work visits impact hospice quality measures
• Explain how congruent documentation supports hospice eligibility
• Understand the importance of IDT/IDG participation

Join us for a review of the role of social workers, counselors, spiritual caregivers, and chaplains as per the regulations and within the IDG/IDT. These roles can add value to an agency’s quality reporting and the patient experience. You’ll learn ways to increasingly use these valuable team members because visits at critical times in the patient process can increase quality and reimbursement measures and agency opportunities.
