Say You Care - Don’t reinvent the wheel. With funding and support from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, IHPCO has developed a marketing/public relations campaign to educate the communities you serve. These beautifully produced packets spark conversations about end-of-life issues and help families navigate the difficult decisions that are ahead of them.
At $2.50 per packet plus a minimal mailing charge, the IHPCO member rate for these guides is more than 50% off the actual production cost. Email Jake Roesler or call us today to place your order.
Hospice Education Network – IHPCO has a partnership with the Hospice Education Network (HEN), and we've negotiated the opportunity for members to sign up for two complimentary programs from HEN's extensive library of hospice-specific streaming video courses.
The Hospice Education Network, owned and operated by Weatherbee Resources, Inc., is a comprehensive, innovative service for hospice programs that offers staff orientation programs, annual in-services, volunteer training, and specialized learning modules to address the education needs of hospice programs of all sizes. A unique feature of HEN is that a hospice's subscription includes unlimited 24/7 access for ALL of the hospice's staff and volunteers. In addition, many HEN programs provide nursing and/or social worker CEs at no additional charge.
Through IHPCO’s partnership with HEN, all members may register for a two-month subscription to two HEN courses at no charge - with no obligation. This is a unique opportunity for hospices in Indiana to provide their staff and volunteers access to courses presented by nationally-recognized experts in hospice and end-of-life care.
Market Reports – More and more, hospice organizations like yours are developing new ways to reach out to the public. Not only as a public service, but also, to attract more families to utilize your services. Isn’t it critical that you do it with a clear understanding of who your public is?
More than 50% of the State Hospice Organizations participate in Hospice Analytics' Market Reports Project. These State Hospice Organizations represent over 60% of the hospices serving over 70% of the hospice patients in the country.
IHPCO now offers county-level reports of hospice specific data for 45% lower than the current rate of similar reports offered by other services. Based on Medicare claims data, census, and other resources, these reports will give you a clear picture of demographics, hospice utilization in your area, diagnostic categories of those in care, and a lot more.
Contact Jake Roesler for more information, or use this form to order your report today.
In addition to providing market reports that will inform you about your customers, you may want to know how your organization measures up to similar service providers in the overall industry – and more specifically, how you measure up in Indiana.
Care Data Pro is a data collection, benchmarking and performance improvement effort open to all hospice providers. It is a comprehensive quality assessment program which will help hospice providers not only meet the requirements of the new Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs), but also critically examine their program’s performance and develop projects to improve the quality of the patient care they provide.
The project objective is to improve end-of-life care through technology. The project will develop, implement and maintain an information technology system for hospices which will identify quality outcomes, facilitate data collection of those quality measures, and produce benchmarking reports identifying best practice.
