Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation (HOPE) Training - North

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Hospice Outcomes & Patient Evaluation (HOPE) tool is now required for all Medicare-certified hospices, and accuracy isn’t optional - it’s essential. HOPE training equips your team with the knowledge and confidence to collect and code data correctly, reduce compliance risk, and strengthen quality scores that directly impact your agency’s reputation.

HOPE in Action training is ideal for agency-wide HOPE education, or for focused prep for the Certificate for HOPE Specialist-Clinical (CHS-C) Exam.
