311. Striking a Balance: Hospice Medical Directors and Administrators Working Together (Room 101)

A hospice needs leadership from both the medical director and the administrator with the strength and effectiveness of this partnership being central to the success of the organization.  As hospices prepare to go through epic change over the next five to ten years, this partnership is not just a key component to a hospice’s success – it is paramount.  Supporting processes and resources for high quality care and financial performance will only be successful when medical directors and administrators understand their respective roles and how best to support each other, and ultimately the hospice,  by partnering together to lead the organization.  This session will review the function and resources necessary for each of these roles, discuss the processes and policies that help to cement the partnership, and share how hospices of all sizes and types.
