Program Description:"Managers tend to blame their turnover problems on everything under the sun, while ignoring the crux of the
matter: people don't leave jobs; they leave managers”. Travis Bradberry
Burnout for C-suite executives presents unique challenges. The two programs in this specially-priced package explore how burnout specifically manifests in the C-suite,
considering factors like high-stakes decision-making and the struggle to balance personal and professional life. Participants are taught how to recognize
early signs of burnout, both in themselves, their peers and employees.
Specific practical strategies for managing stress and workload, such as effective time management, delegation, and goal setting are reviewed.
These programs also emphasize developing a resilient mindset and enhancing emotional intelligence, which are crucial for coping with pressures and setbacks.
A supportive culture within the workplace is essential. This includes fostering a culture that prioritizes mental well-being and encourages
open communication. The role of the C-suite employee in leading by example is essential. All these topics were reviewed in an interactive fun environment at TAHCH's Winter Conference and are now available online to
help you meet the challenges of burn out in your workplace and your own life.

Program Description: Many Texas home health agencies are currently dealing with a staffing
shortage and also anticipating a greater health workforce shortage in the coming years. Employee churn – which can lead to canceled/rescheduled
appointments and undermine an agency’s ability to take on new patients – can lead to a breakdown in the continuum of care, weaker overall outcomes,
and an increased risk of readmissions. Learn how implementing a virtual care platform can help your agency better utilize in-demand specialists and
available staff while being able to provide better – meaning, more timely and higher quality – care to their patients.

A 2021 Hospice Academy Presentation
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Virtual Event | Hospice Academy 2021 | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | April 14, 2021
Program Description: As hospice professionals, we comfort family members suffering through
the sadness and grief related to the death of a loved one. The bereavement program we provide helps them cope and eventually thrive
in their new normal. It is hard but fulfilling work. All too often, bereavement services are not seen as a vital role of hospice care.
What if the bereavement program is reevaluated, along with the role of the bereavement coordinator? What if bereavement services can
be viewed in a new way? The concepts provided in this webinar will help your bereavement program to thrive and grow while serving
those dealing with death in a meaningful way. In this session, we will discuss the role of the bereavement program and adding the
bereavement coordinator as a member of the hospice team, what regulations say about bereavement services, and how to breathe
new life into bereavement services by viewing it from a different perspective.
