Course Overview

The goal of the Hospice Administrator Certificate Program (HACP) is to provide a supportive learning environment for administrators and senior managers. The HACP will strengthen your competencies to position your organization for success and help you integrate the complexities of quality, compliance, financial management, and strategic performance.  The HACP is broken down into a three module curriculum. Each participant will receive a comprehensive manual that is a must-have resource for years to come.

Module I
This module will provide administrators with insights into trends in health care, building strong leadership, and strategic planning.  A case example of successful program implementation will be included.  This information will assist administrators in implementing strategies to position the organization for success.

Module II
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 strategies.

Module III
Having the best strategic position and well managed financial operations can be accomplished in today's health care environment only if compliance management is well integrated into organizational performance.  Hospice administrators must understand the elements and guidelines to manage compliance risk at all levels of the organization.

Program Learning Objectives
