WEBINAR DETAILS: 

Medicare requires that hospices provide "counseling," but the CoPs do not clearly define or outline what that means. Counseling is not emotional support. It is important to remember that during these times of COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing. Staff and caregivers must be even more skillful and creative about how to provide counseling. This webinar will focus on various e-methods for providing counseling, including ethical considerations, dos and don'ts, maximizing telephone contacts, and other available electronic face-to-face approaches. It will also address programming ideas to ensure that isolated patients/families receive the best possible care during this pandemic. During the live webinar participants will be able to submit challenges and solutions they have experienced with e-counseling and share their thoughts with the group. Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: 

This informative webinar is designed to elevate the skill level of all team members who provide counseling, including social workers, chaplains, bereavement professionals, nurses, physicians, professional volunteers, and others. Leadership and management will also benefit from exploring expanded possibilities and better ways to care for those we serve.
