Program Overview

Ensuring that all of your staff are qualified, professional, and are able to meet all regulations is critical for Home Health and Hospice Agencies.  An Effective Competency Program can be the answer. Having an effective competency program can decrease your risk, improve customer satisfaction, improve patient and agency outcomes, and help to prevent deficiencies. It can also improve the quality of your agency overall.  This session will explain what a competency program is, as well as how to develop and implement a simple, yet effective program throughout your agency – for all staff.
