In this episode I answer a question from Gina.
In a recent email from Gina, she asks the following question.
One topic I would love for you to cover is that of high case loads – and what you consider that number to be, what number is considered ideal for excellent, superior care and how to manage/re-work your visit frequencies when those loads are high.
During this episode I do cover what I consider to be a normal caseload. I explain that our caseload should really be measured by how many visits we make during a week when our goal is to see most of them at least twice per week.
I explain that years of experience does play a large role in determining how many patients someone can manage at once.
I review how case management changes when the majority of our patients are in LTC facilities.
At the beginning of the episode I put out a challenge to those of us who are in leadership to make very attempt to stay connected to our field staff.
As always, don’t forget to call, text or email to leave feedback! I would love to hear from you!

Hi James,
Do you provide transcripts of your podcasts? I tend to retain information better reading. Just curious thank you for all you do for the hospice community!!
Well, this is something I’m looking into. The company that hosts my episodes does have an option I can add on for a nominal monthly fee. I wonder how many other listeners would like transcripts?
