§558.260[a][8]skills for working with clients, families, and other professional service providers
Program Description: Transitions in care would seem on the surface
to be a "non-issue" in hospice medicine, but with increasing complexity and segmentation of care for the
seriously ill, patients often enter hospice from the acute care system with unrealistic expectations of
what is needed and what will be provided. Often unnecessary emergency department visits and hospitalizations
result, as well as demands for services not part of the standard hospice plan of care. This program
explores not only addressing the expectations of patients and their families, but also addressing the
increasing expectations of payers. A vision for the future of optimal care of the seriously ill is
presented, acknowledging the daunting steps needed for the evolution of a hospice organization towards
a "full service" model, as our organizations enter into a time of increased demand, regulatory uncertainty,
quality-based scrutiny, and fiscal constraint.
Program Learning Outcome:
Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change their practice by incorporating
effective communication strategies and comprehensive care plans to avoid unnecessary transitions of care.

In the wake of COVID-19, CMS has taken a number of steps to make it easier for patients to be treated remotely, using telehealth. Many home health and hospice agencies

§558.260[a][10]marketing
Program Description: Health care facilities are faced with
the need to grow their businesses through the sharing of information about programs and services in an
effective manner. But the rules for implementing an effective marketing program in health care are
limited by several state and federal laws including the Prohibition of Solicitation Law, the
Anti-Kickback Law, Gifts to Beneficiaries, Stark, and other rules implementing by contract and
program directives. Failure to comply with these rules can result in disallowance of a referral,
monetary penalties, loss of licensure, and yes, even imprisonment in some instances. The presenter
explores marketing prohibitions by addressing what an agency “can’t do” under specific regulations
as well as activities that the agency “can do” to promote its business in compliance the law.
Program Learning Outcome:
Learners will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change or enhance their
practice by implementing marketing practices in compliance with state and federal regulations.

§558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting
§558.260[a][10]marketing
Program Description: Marketing in healthcare is an increasingly complex and dangerous endeavor.
Laws and regulations fail to provide clear guidance as to what the agency can and can’t do as it relates to hiring and training a sales force,
developing sales and promotion campaigns using electronic media, participating on community health fairs, and most importantly, making contact
with the right people, and competing against the big guys! The best ideas in the real-world sales environment often fail to meet the requirements
of the federal and state anti-solicitation laws, safe harbor requirements in the Anti-Kickback Statute, STARK rules, or the Gifts to Beneficiaries
limitations, and competitors are only too happy to report any perceived violations to government investigators who will take it seriously!
This presentation is designed for the administrator who needs to grow the business in a heavily regulated, highly competitive
marketplace while protecting the pocketbook from costly endeavors. Jan will review the regulatory restrictions that impose limitations on the provider,
BUT she will also introduce you to 9 successful marketing strategies that are economical, investigator friendly, and owner appreciated.
Program Learning Outcome:
Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change or enhance their practice by implementing
marketing practices in compliance with state and federal regulations.
