Day One
Faced with emerging end-of-life care movement and the aging of America, hospice administrators must be poised to re-evaluate their strategic position. In doing so, hospice administrators must lead quality driven organizations using innovative approaches and understanding opportunities for growth and development. This module will provide administrators with insights into trends in health care, building strong leadership, effective ways to manage and use data, and performance management strategies to achieve growth as the market shifts. This information will assist administrators in understanding market changes and how to implement strategies to position your organization for success in the years ahead.

Day Two
Now, more then ever, administrators must be grounded in the basics of financial management, accountable for financial performance and skilled in risk management of financial operations. At the same time, administrators must begin now to prepare for changes in reimbursement. This module will provide a framework for understanding, interpreting and modifying essential elements of hospice financial management. Administrators will gain understanding of tools necessary to manage financial performance such as key reports, appropriate budgeting and monitoring of financial operations. A review of the Hospice Cost Report and implications to providers will be presented. Administrators will be prepared to be on the cutting edge of financial information.

Day Three
Having the best strategic position and well-managed financial operation can be accomplished in today’s health care environment only if legal and compliance management are well integrated into organizational performance. And, performance goals can only be met with good execution strategies. They key elements of legal and corporate compliance will assist administrators to further align strategic, financial and performance improvement issues. Administrators will gain knowledge to help integrate corporate compliance management with the clinical, financial and legal integrity of the organization.
