PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The goal of the Hospice Manager Certificate Program (HMCP®) is to assist you in learning fundamental management principals and information related to your role as a manager in a hospice organization.

Critical elements of management include developing your skills as a leader, enhancing your understanding of regulatory compliance at the local, state and national level, learning budgeting principals and their impact on clinical and administrative operations in your organization, and improving your abilities to manage essential human resource issues, like coaching and certain employment laws. The HMCP provides specific information and concrete examples to help you strengthen your ability to manage a department or an entire hospice organization.

The HMCP is a three-module curriculum:

  • LEADERSHIP & HR focuses on Essential Elements of Managing Your Human Resources
  • REGULATORY & QUALITY focuses on Managers and Leaders and Regulations Impacting Hospice Providers
  • MANAGEMENT & FINANCE focuses on Budgeting and Reimbursement Fundamentals and Impact on Hospice Clinical Operations


General Learning Objectives and Expected Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the HMCP, participants will be able to:

  • Identify new skills to improve your individual management style
  • Understand the various state and federal laws impacting hospices and your role as a hospice manager
  • Identify key elements of a hospice budget
  • Understand the impact of reimbursement on daily operations
  • Learn coaching skills to improve your performance as a hospice manager
