NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2021 - 9

The process of taking
advantage of the new
opportunities that exist for
hospices and other palliative
care providers starts with
educating yourself.
provision of only hospice care. Ask
yourself " What is my mission? " Is
your mission hospice or is your
mission to care for families
coping with serious illness,
including at the end of life? Is
hospice a tool to achieve that
mission, or the mission itself? This
is a crucial dynamic to examine
and resolve and may be very
telling in how ready your
organization is to take on change.
If your mission is to care for all
families coping with serious illness
through the skills that you have
developed through hospice, then
you need to build access for more
families to experience your higher
quality care. By being part of a
patient's care journey early on, you
can provide the proactive care and
planning to minimize crises and
suffering. You will have more
flexibility in the care you provide
and who receives the care,
allowing you to provide for those
in need prior to hospice eligibility.
You can improve the sustainability
of your organization and better
support your staff by using the
CMS Hospice Benefit how it was
intended, not just in the last weeks
or days of life. You can access
reimbursement for non-hospice
service lines while protecting and
growing your market.
No matter what your
organization decides - whether
to stay with the status quo or
engage in innovation - you will
need to build consensus with the
decision, facilitate buy-in with
stakeholders, and develop a
purposeful strategy to act on this
decision. You will also need to
confirm that your agency's
identity, including your mission,
your vision, your name, and your
overall brand, aligns with your
decision. If you are staying the
course, you will need to plan
against mission drift and
mitigate the risks that you may
face as the healthcare continuum
changes around you. And, if you
are choosing to diversify and
expand, you will need a strategy
to identify, evaluate, and engage
with the new partnership and
payment opportunities out there.
This is what we will focus on
going forward.
Engaging in
Change
The process of taking advantage
of the new opportunities that
exist for hospices and other
palliative care providers starts
with educating yourself. You and
your leadership team will need to
build your understanding of and
comfort level with the many
different care models in the
