Program Description: There are many new business practices taking shape
in the home care/hospice industry. Outsourcing is one business practice used by companies to reduce costs or improve
efficiency by shifting tasks, operations, jobs or processes to an external contracted third party for a significant
period of time. This same process of centralization is utilized by many companies internally to achieve the same outcome.
Home care/hospice agencies must enact smart change management techniques to prepare for this new practice.
Program Learning Outcome:
- Participants will actively engage in a discussion on outsourcing and centralizing operations to reduce costs and improve efficiency in home care agencies.
