With the Hospice Outcomes & Patient Evaluation (HOPE) tool set to go live on October 1st, hospice providers are facing a transformative shift in documentation and patient evaluation. In this episode, we explore what it takes to successfully implement HOPE, without disrupting care delivery. Diana Franchitto, a hospice center president and CEO, shares how her organization is navigating the transition by leveraging structured operating procedures, a dedicated task force and a clear implementation timeline. From regulatory compliance to operational challenges, we break down the steps every provider should consider to stay on track.

We also discuss how Netsmart is supporting providers through this transition with solutions designed to streamline workflow adjustments and work towards timely submissions. Whether you are part of a large hospice with a dedicated team or a smaller organization where staff wear multiple hats, this conversation will help you chart your path forward.

Don’t wait until October to start preparing! Tune in to gain practical strategies and resources to navigate this change smoothly.
