Hank Dunn, BA, M.Div, CPE, A & A Publishers, Inc.

Hank Dunn is an ordained healthcare chaplain, best-selling author and speaker who, since 1983, has been helping patients and their families as they struggle with end-of-life decisions. To help with his mission, he wrote a booklet to hand to them so they could reflect on the issues. As an afterthought, he sent the book out to other institutions to see if they would be interested in purchasing it for the people they serve. First published in 1990, Hard Choices for Loving People has sold over 3 million copies, and is being used in more than 5,000 hospitals, nursing homes, faith communities, and hospice programs nationwide.

Chaplain Dunn is a past president of the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and he has served on the Ethics Committee at the Reston Hospital Center and the Chaplaincy Advisory Board at the Loudoun Hospital Center. He continues to volunteer as a chaplain at the Loudoun Hospital and at the Loudoun Adult Medical Psychiatric Services. For several years, Chaplain Dunn volunteered at Joseph's House, a home for formerly homeless men with AIDS.

Chaplain Dunn will share his insights about the benefits vs. burdens for seriously ill patients and talk about five important questions to consider when helping patients and families make medical decisions.

"What really makes these decision 'hard choices' has little to do with the medical, legal, ethical, or moral aspects of the decision process. The real struggles are emotional and spiritual," says Chaplain Dunn.

OBJECTIVES• Discuss the importance of establishing medical goals before discussing treatment decisions.• Identify the benefits/burdens for seriously ill patients for the most common treatment decisions.• Review 5 important questions to consider to help patients and families make medical treatment decisions.


W03 (GUEST SPEAKER) 10:45 AM - 11:30 AMFIXING THE FAULTS IN OUR STARS GUEST SPEAKER

Barbara McCann, BSW, MA, Interim HealthCare

From strategies to improve star ratings to higher care standards across the community, the emerging trends in home care challenge each of us to re-think how we see home care versus how the rest of the health care and payer system sees us. Hear what is happening from coast to coast, how home care is being provided, how it is being paid for, and sometimes, surprisingly, who is delivering it. Learn about the operational challenges facing each of us and the choices that must be made to move forward and thrive, whether you are independent or facility based, profit or non-profit.

OBJECTIVES• Identify the key elements of home health value based payment,

and action to take now in anticipation of its national expansion• Identify the key elements of change for home health providers

contained in the Comprehensive Joint Replacement demonstration• Identify new payment models for palliative care and for chronic

disease now pending, and new cross setting measures.

The Impact Act now requires all hospice providers to have a Medicare recertification survey every three years for the next ten years, at a minimum. Many hospice providers have gone several years without a Medicare survey which may have led to habits that have led to non-compliance.

President, Rebecca Friedman Zuber, Inc.

Caring for hospice patients at home, while preferred, is a complex undertaking. In situations where there is a paid non-skilled caregiver helping the family in the home it can be difficult for all concerned to fully understand how the legal limitations of professional licensing and provider regulations limit the roles the various participants can play, particularly around medication administration and some personal care activities. The purpose of this panel is to sensitively discuss the challenges faced by all of the parties in these circumstances and to develop constructive and compliance-oriented approaches to coordinating care between hospices and home care providers.

OBJECTIVES• Describe the laws and regulations that provide a framework for the delivery of health care services

in the home by paid and unpaid caregivers • Identify the roles of licensed professionals, paid non-skilled caregivers and family members in the

Cheryl Adams, RN, BSN, MBA, HSC-D, COS-C

Administrator, At-Home Health Care of Sparta Community Hospital

Mark A. Bassett, RN, BSN, MAS

Lead Software Developer, Meditech

Operating in today's home care environment requires that we both increase quality and decrease cost Critical to an agency's ability to achieve both is producing quality documentation. Quality documentation is required to support the actual delivery of care, demonstration of quality via outcomes and also supports reimbursement and other payer requirements. Accuracy and timeliness of the documentation are therefore essential.

Electronic documentation tools offer many features that are designed to increase both the quality and the utility of clinical documentation, enhancing communication between all healthcare providers. These features address traditional well known requirements for documentation principles while supporting expansive new technologies. However, processes must be in place to ensure the documentation for the health information used in care, research, and health management is valid, accurate, complete, trustworthy, and timely.This program describes one agency's experiences with the implementation of a prototype dashboard.

OBJECTIVES• Identify the importance of Quality Documentation • Describe the benefits of making related performance data available in dashboard format• Describe how to engage your employees’ buy-in
