Overcoming Staffing Issues in Hospice
Author: Vivek Mathew Posted: Dec. 17, 2020
Hospice care is a life-saver for those that utilize its services. Care providers that invest the time in their patients is what makes hospice care so attractive to families that rely on such organizations. However, not everything is perfect. Hospice agencies consistently face staffing challenges that become overbearing. These problems impede the effectiveness of care and overall operations of an agency. Thankfully, these problems are not without solutions.
The need for qualified candidates
An increase in hospice demand requires the need to find qualified staff. The need for great candidates lags behind growth patterns seen in relation to experienced caregivers. Without qualified staff, your organization cannot admit more patients. If you do have to turn down patients, this may negatively impact your relationship with referral partners. As more caregivers enter the industry, your agency needs solutions that can handle the influx of new hires.
