The likelihood is greater than ever before that across practice settings, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other health care providers will serve individuals and families dealing with end-of-life matters. Are you ready to meet the challenge? Are your employees?
Advancing End-of-Life Care Across Disciplines, a Professional Certificate Program, is coming to the Midlands (Columbia) in June 2010. The program specifically targets nurses, chaplains, and social workers, and other disciplines that provide direct care. The second region of the state that we are offering the course is in the Midlands/Columbia. The professional certificate program builds upon the success of an academic specialization, called the Interdisciplinary Specialization in End-of-Life Care, which is now in its 4th year. Because health care options are growing, healthcare professionals are often struggling to manage the associated bio-psychosocial complexities within multidisciplinary systems of care. This course is designed to provide advanced knowledge and skills to help professionals handle such situations. This 12 month program combines internet-based and four quarterly seminar formats to maximize the efficiency in meeting the learning needs of practitioners. It offers up to 80 hours of continuing education for participants, with the award of a certificate upon completion of the program. You can visit the website below to see more information about the structure of the program, cost, dates, and instructions on how to apply. http://www2.winthrop.edu/socialwork/end_of_life_care/professionaltier.htm Hospice Physician Billing and Coding - It is on the Office of the Inspector General's Radar Screen - Is it on Yours?
The Hospice Education Network is pleased to offer a new 2-part course by physician billing expert Chris Acevedo of Acevedo Consulting...
Optimize your revenue potential for physician services and minimize your risk of audit for overpayment for physician services. It's clear that the Medicare program is paying more attention to services billed by hospice and palliative care providers. And, as all government budgets tighten, it should not be surprising that the Medicare program will continue to look for potential overpayments through the audit process. These two sessions provide discussions of compliance concerns, best practices and the basics to help ensure third-party payers are not successful in retrospective recoupment. Objectives: Part 1
* Remember: HEN's price per course includes access for ALL of the hospice's staff and volunteers for the entire subscription period. Respecting Choices® Advance Care Planning (ACP) Online Courses
