More Than a Tool: Using HOPE to Guide Meaningful, Patient-Centered Hospice Care

Join McBee experts Dee Geray and Michelle Horner for a powerful session on holistic hospice care and the new HOPE assessment. As agencies prepare for this transition, it’s time to get back to the foundation of great care—thorough assessments, meaningful conversations and a deep understanding of each patient’s experience. This webinar will explore how the HOPE tool can help clinicians uncover the real issues behind pain and non-pain symptoms, leading to care plans that are both clinically effective and deeply compassionate. Learn how you can leverage HOPE to advance holistic care in your hospice practice.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the purpose and structure of the HOPE assessment and how it supports holistic hospice care
• Demonstrate effective assessment and interview techniques to gather meaningful information from patients and caregivers
• Identify key HOPE items that support individualized care planning for pain and non-pain symptom management
• Apply strategies to incorporate HOPE data into care plans that reflect whole-person care and patient-centered priorities
