NewsLine - August 2012 - (Page LOC) ON OUR COVER: Creating New Opportunities Through Diagnosis-specific Programming In 2008, Southern Tier Hospice and Palliative Care was at a crossroads: “Our strategy of relying on the ebb and flow of referrals from a few reliable sources was not sufficient for financial stability, let alone meaningful growth,” says Robin Stawasz, director of provider relations and family services. So STHPC adopted a new approach—one that provides specialized hospice care for individual disease processes. Its patient census has now nearly doubled while average length of stay has increased. Robin and her colleague, Suzanne Scheib, explain. PLUS: Blogging for the Hospice Clinician Christian Sinclair, a national hospice medical director and editor of the well-known blog, Pallimed, is a strong proponent of online publishing. “It’s a way to tell our stories and share advances in the field with a much wider audience, without relying solely on the media,” he says. Here he offers guidance on how to share these stories while safeguarding patient privacy. Managing Stress Managing stress is a critical part of our work because it not only impacts our life and well-being, but also the lives of the patients and families under our care. As this month’s Voice of NCHPP feature, CNA Section leader, Tandra Chandler, offers guidance.
