Hospice oversight is intensifying, but stronger internal practices can help organizations respond with clarity and confidence. The nationwide Medicare enrollment moratorium, expanded federal program-integrity activity, and new California operating requirements all point to the same priority: understanding how your data, documentation, and day-to-day decisions may be viewed by regulators.
In this practical webinar, Carrie Cooley, RN, MSN, and Principal at Weatherbee Resources, will explain how to strengthen the hospice core processes that support quality care and compliance. She will connect PEPPER and the emerging Service and Spending Variation Index (SSVI) to the operational practices that matter most — including clinical record documentation, physician engagement, eligibility support, and relatedness determinations — so your organization can identify vulnerabilities early and act before they become larger concerns.
Why strengthening from within matters now
Meeting these expectations requires more than awareness. Hospice organizations need consistent ways to interpret their data, make and document key clinical decisions, and address vulnerabilities before they become systemic. By embedding those disciplines into daily operations, teams can improve care, support defensible decisions, and remain ready for scrutiny without treating compliance as a one-time audit exercise.
