NHPCO NewsLine Winter 2017 - 21
REGULATORY, QUALITY, AND RESEARCH
■ NHPCO leadership and staff continued to monitor, analyze, and comment on
new, changing, and proposed regulations that affect end-of-life care and kept
members abreast of pertinent issues of importance to the field. Members were
kept up to date on breaking news and critical issues via 12 Regulatory Alerts
and four Quality Alerts going out between January and October 2017.
Summaries of critical regulatory information and hot topics were published
weekly in NewsBriefs, and provided in a monthly format through Regulatory
Round-Ups posted online.
■ More than 2,690 members received individualized support from the Health
Policy Team via phone and email by October of this year, reinforcing the value
of this benefit only available to current NHPCO members.
■ Preconference offerings and regulatory concurrent sessions were offered at
NHPCO's Management and Leadership Conference in April, the
Interdisciplinary Conference in the fall, and in the Regulatory & Quality track
of monthly Webinars. Members enjoy discounted registration rates for all
NHPCO events onsite or online.
■ Wrote new regulatory and compliance guides specifically for hospice providers
that included: Emergency Preparedness for Hospice Providers, General
Inpatient FAQs, Guides on Continuous Home Care, General Inpatient Care,
Inpatient Respite Care, and more. Members will find these free resources
online in the Regulatory and Compliance Center.
With the theme, "Be Their
Voice!" members of the
Interdisciplinary team
shared stories of care at the
bedside with congressional
leaders and staff.
■ Released the Regulatory Podcast series that explores specific regulatory and
policy topics in a twice-a-month podcast that has garnered more than 40,000
downloads.
■ Continued collaborative work with state organizations through NHPCO's
Council of States, with monthly conference calls with the COS steering
committee to help keep our community up to date on critical issues.
■ Issued the re-envisioned edition of NHPCO's report, Facts and Figures: Hospice
Care in America that utilizes CMS data as primary data source.
ADVOCACY
■ NHPCO and HAN's 2017 Advocacy Intensive brought nearly 240 hospice
advocates from 120-plus hospices, representing 43 states, to Capitol Hill in
July for a day of education and training and a day of Congressional visits.
With the theme, "Be Their Voice!" members of the Interdisciplinary team
shared stories of care at the bedside with congressional leaders and staff.
