HOPE in Action

This 2-part recorded webinar is the ideal way to launch Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation (HOPE) training at your hospice or to train staff as needed. All Medicare-certified hospices are required to begin using the HOPE tool beginning October 1, 2025, when HOPE replaces the Hospice Item Set (HIS). This training focuses on:

• Four HOPE timepoints and the special visit(s) needed for symptom follow-up
• All items new to HOPE
• Revised and challenging HIS items that remain in HOPE
• Realistic hospice scenarios allowing you to “show what you know” and reinforce concepts learned in this series

This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by Montana Nurses Association, an accredited approver with distinction by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
