Episode Fifty-One: Nurse Keith Interview

Sunday, March 17, 2024 • Duration 53:44

For this episode I decided to share a recent interview I did for the Nurse Keith podcast.

It was a great time to share with Keith’s audience some of my observations from the world of hospice. I believe this was a great opportunity to share hospice with a whole new audience.

Take a minute to visit Keith’s web site, and throw some support his way!

Call the funeral home as quickly as possible

Don’t always be in a hurry to interject yourself
Be sensitive to other cultures
To stay or not to stay
Post mortem care
Clothig

Episode Forty-Nine: Don’t Fail Me Now

Sunday, February 18, 2024 • Duration 50:17

In this episode I answer the following question from a listener.

Hi, any chance of getting a podcast on Service Failures? I've been in hospice for around two years. I hear the term thrown around, but can't quite grasp all the details. I don't see any podcasts or blog posts around this subject, but I suspect the knowledge would be quite valuable.

Thanks,

Jade

I answer Jade’s question in two parts. I start by addressing Medicare’s Conditions of Participation for all hospice providers. For the second half I address service failures in general and how they relate to each hospice provider’s philosophy of care.

The Medicare COPs I review are the following.

Election of hospice benefit
The IDG/IDT
Admissions
Discharge Types
Face-to-face requirements
Individualized care plans
24 Hour Nursing Services
The 4 Levels of Care

For agency philosophy we review the following areas that could result in service failures.

Visit frequencies
Medication Refills
Supplies
Calling 911
Patient dies in discomfort
On-Call
Anything that the patient perceives as a failure

I also promise to provide the NHPCO overview of the Medicare Conditions of Participation. You can download the COPs HERE.

Episode Forty-Eight: Six ways to promote growth

Sunday, February 4, 2024 • Duration 48:36

In this episode I focus on the top 6 concepts I believe are essential to promoting the growth of a hospice office.

Ultimately, the administrator is responsible for creating an environment for success. Any administrator who wants to blame others for lack of success, is an administrator nobody wants to follow.

Here is the list of items I focus on during this episode.

Foster healthy relationships between sales and clinical
Take ownership of the branch
Create a consistent and repeatable experience
Love your team
Develop your clinical director
Be visible

These items are what I find to be the most powerful for creating a successful environment. Still, there are other ways to grow a branch.

This episode is about the administrator taking responsibility for the success of their branch. It starts and ends with the administrator.

Episode Forty-Seven: Don’t Say Hospice

Sunday, January 21, 2024 • Duration 47:26

In this episode I review my strategies when I have family members who are afraid to tell their loved one that hospice is being consulted for care.

I spend some time helping you understand the real difference between patients who can understand what they are being signed up for versus patients who are confused and can’t understand the decisions being made for them.

I talk about using my Clinical Data Sheet during conversation and assessment to gather information and ask questions.

I offer access to my show outline for easy reference. You can download the PDF version by clicking HERE.

I also spend some time explaining how to adjust your conversation to find out what kind of experience (if any) your patient or caregivers have with hospice.

Episode Forty-Six: My Wish For You

Monday, January 8, 2024 • Duration 01:02:04

Welcome to 2024!

For today’s episode I decided to present you with 3 things I feel like every hospice nurse needs to find success and peace of mind!

In this episode I review the importance of making sure we pull into our driveways at the end of the day with all of our work completed.

I point out the importance of making sure all of our charting is done at the bedside. I review some of the differences between a visit nurse and case manager.

My second point focuses on the importance of establishing a work-life balance. I discuss some boundaries with our patients that are important.

I spend a few minutes explaining the importance of involving the entire team which includes the chaplain and social worker.

At the end I encourage all of you to stay the course and remain hospice nurses with the goal of establishing healthy habits.

Episode Forty-Five: Be the leader you never had

Sunday, December 3, 2023 • Duration 59:44

This episode is all about leadership.

Everyone in hospice is a leader, and being a leader is completely different than being a boss.

In this episode I provide some practical advice to help make sure we never lose our perspective on what our nurses go through every day. I encourage administrators and clinical directors to do ride alongs with a field nurse at least twice a year.

I spend quite a bit of time talking about avoiding spending a lot of time trying to place blame for agency failures. In a very strange turn of events, I spend time talking about the dangers of gaslighting when trying to always place blame when mistakes happen.

At the end of the show I recommend the following books to help us all grow as leaders.

Leaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek

The Speed of Trust - Stephen Covey

It’s your Ship - Michael Abroshoff

Developing the leader within you - John Maxwell

Developing the leaders around you - John Maxwell

Becoming a person of influence - John Maxwell

The 21 Irrefutable laws of leadership - John Maxwell

The 8 paradoxes of great leadership - Tim Elmore

In a pit with a lion on a snowy day - Mark Batterson
