The hospice finance and operations intensive will provide hospice management and leadership insights on key performance issues, such as what the proposed Medicare changes for 2022 could mean to your financial and operational performance, how to manage your potential risk exposure from current compliance initiatives, how to successfully manage your cap liability risks, how to compare your KPIs to the latest financial and operational KPIs of successful hospices, and how to anticipate what the hospice VBID model could mean to your operations and revenue cycle.

The intensive will conclude with a guided panel discussion with NC/SC and other state providers and industry leaders, as well as BKD representatives, to gain insights on to-date experiences with the hospice VBID model, the financial viability of palliative care and other emerging programs, strategies for collaborating with other health care providers in your market, preparing operations for new quality and care index scores and the industry relevance of quality reporting, and other key issues important for successful hospices to manage.
