TAHC&H Event | 56th Annual Meeting | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date: August 27, 2025
Program Description:
Over the last year, CMS has been digging into their proverbial treasure chest of regulations to implement new rules for Hospices.
After a strong push-back from industry associations, the new Hospice Special Focus Program (SFP) has been placed on hold for the time being.
The new HOPE tool is following the HHA OASIS structure to provide new assessment time points and measures based on new data items.
CAHPS Hospice now has fewer questions including a new option for web-based surveys, a mode in use by Medicare Advantage patients.
There is a lot to unpack with all these changes for FY 2025. Join our speakers as they review these planned
changes and how Hospices should be evaluating the best way to implement.

About the Presenter(s):
Brett Brier Having co-founded a pediatric PDN company and run the day-to-day operations for many years,
Brett understands that Cole’s ideas are sometimes great, but are often focused on tomorrow’s problems and not enough on what people are doing right now. Brett leads the
business development and onboarding teams because he understands what it takes to make things work for different organizations operating in unique ways.
About the Presenter(s):
Cole Ballweg Cole’s idea for CubHub was to fix a problem he saw with the current pediatric
homecare systems being used in pediatric nursing and therapy: None of them prepared his Pediatric Homecare company for where the market was going. His primary job
is to take what he learns about building and leading teams, operations, and the future of healthcare to guide the development of a system that sets innovative companies apart from a crowded field.
