Welcome to episode 57 of The Hospice Nursing Podcast!

In this episode I start with the top 5 things I have learned in my 10 years of hospice experience.

1. Case management is the foundation of all hospice care
2. Case management success is in the details
3. There is not just one way to do hospice
4. Model the behavior you want to see in others
5. Your current company isn’t as bad as it seems, and the company you want to move to isn’t as great as it seams.

While covering these ideas, I make sure to point out that nobody is doomed to failure just because they don’t’ have case management experience.

I also explain that keeping a patient on hospice care is more dependent on the details than it is on the big picture.

I share my thoughts on leadership, and I explain that leaders can’t expect their staff to behave in a way that isn’t modeled for them.

At the end of this episode I explain that all hospice providers have their flaws, and we shouldn’t expect our next employer to be perfect.

As always, don’t forget to call, text or email to leave feedback! I would love to hear from you!
