Join ACHCU and Axxess for this webinar as we discuss caring for those providing care. Frontline caregivers work intimately with patients to ensure positive outcomes. In the process, they deal with significant personal challenges with little respite, and risk burnout during stressful events, including national disasters and pandemics such as COVID-19. Adequately supporting caregivers is imperative for the success of in-home care organizations. Participants will learn how to better understand care provider needs and support them through challenging times.

Attendees will learn:

• How to identify key signs of caregiver burnout

• Short-term caregiver management strategies

• The importance of building personal and organizational care plans for long-term success

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health emergency and Home Health and Hospice agencies are on the battlefront.  The new 1135 waiver does allow some relief in dealing with the crisis, but it also brings about a lot of questions.  Agencies really need to know all of the new information, but many do not have time to read and figure out what all of the changes mean. Join us as we break down the waivers and relief measures and shed light on what they mean for your agency.  

A month ago, it was business as usual for health care providers.  Things have rapidly changed due to COVID-19.  As health care providers, your businesses are the key to defeating this virus.  However, there are many uncertainties.  How do you take care of your patients?  Will reimbursement be affected?  What if you have an employee who tested positive or needs to stay home to care for a family member who has tested positive?  These and many other questions are addressed in The Families First Corona Virus Act (“Families First”) and the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which have been implemented by the federal government to help with this crisis.  This presentation will discuss the important sections of these pieces of legislation and will help you to understand how they will help your business thrive during these tough times. 

Providers of care in the home need to be prepared to care for patients with COVID-19. Keeping home care and hospice staff safe during the COVID-19 outbreak requires both knowledge and proper planning for an in-home visit. Join Mary McGoldrick for this important and informative webinar as she reviews the current CDC guidelines as it relates to care in the home, and provides practical and evidence-based infection control strategies necessary to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
