Testimonials

“Dave Baehr of ROCs has been extremely effective in introducing evidence based project management techniques to our greater leadership team. In addition, Dave has also “rolled up his sleeves” to work collaboratively with the clinical operations team, who are eager but inexperienced with successful project management, to tackle the “real world” issues that often derail even the most compelling process improvements.
He has been so well received within the Clinical Operations Leadership Team, that our hospice recently decided to expand his project management mentoring to other operational areas such as technology and human resources. Dave has become an invaluable member of our hospice “family” educating all of us on skills critical to our future success.”

"... Dave was invaluable in working with the Director of Information Services to prioritize projects in an order that was attainable and that facilitated Hospice of the Chesapeake successfully migrating data storage, training field staff on field devices, and putting processes in place that ensure success in the Information Technology Department."

As you know, your level of compliance with state and federal regulations directly affects your financial stability, reputation, and licensing. Successful hospices ensure that compliance is integral to their culture and daily operations, from senior leadership to patient care staff to administrative support services.

In recent years hospices have become a focus for the federal government, with a major revision of the Medicare Conditions of Participation, an overhaul of billing requirements and related reimbursement policy. We are seeing increased regulatory scrutiny, particularly of those hospices providing services to nursing home residents. Are you and your staff ready for this increased scrutiny? Are you ready for your next survey?

ROCs can help you review hospice basics and incorporate regulatory compliance into day-to-day operations. Let us help you understand what is required to run a Medicare certified hospice agency.

ROCs can train your staff, perform a compliance assessment, develop a compliance plan, or even lead the effort to obtain compliance.
