Understanding the technical submission process, timelines, and WellSky EHR workflows is essential for compliance and operational efficiency.
Join WellSky hospice leaders Katherine Morrison (RN, MSN, CHPN, Director of Advisory Services), Michelle Justiss (Vice President of Solution Management), and Alex Schmidt (Director of Solution Management) for the fourth webinar in our Countdown to HOPE series. This webinar will focus on how HOPE data is submitted to CMS, how hospice organizations should prepare, and how WellSky is streamlining the submission process through enhanced EHR workflows.
