New Webinar: Hope in Action

Prepare yourself for the October 1st HOPE implementation with HOPE in Action. OASIS Answers has developed a two-part, two-hour recorded webinar provides engaging and easy to follow education on accurately coding the HOPE items and identifying required time points and HOPE patient visits.

Through use of targeted patient scenarios, you will learn the guidance and be able to check your ability to apply it with realistic patient situations.

The new webinar includes:

• Memorable visuals introducing all new HOPE items, along with coding instructions and “show what you know” application scenarios
• Training on revised and challenging HIS items that are being retained in HOPE
• Instruction on the HOPE timepoint and Symptom Follow-up visits requirements
• Valuable handout resources highlighting HIS/HOPE comparisons and impacts of the HOPE assessments on quality, compliance and payment.

Whether you’re a seasoned HIS expert or just stepping into standardized hospice data collection, this engaging training will help you prepare—and stand out—as a HOPE-ready clinician.
