Let’s be honest, most of us don’t love compliance. Those of us who do love regulations and compliance rarely have the time to make these ongoing functions our highest priority. Unless you are facing intense regulatory scrutiny or an impending survey, compliance can take a back seat to the more pressing issues crossing your desk every minute. Every regulatory change brings with it policy revision or creation, staff training and implementation of new procedures, and increases your compliance and potentially your financial risk. It helps to have the experts at Hospice Support Specialists on your side.
Our experienced team understands what it takes to maintain a highly compliant program while also keeping the focus on other important aspects of your business. Our expertise includes:

Whether you are in need of a compliance program, preparing for initial survey or planning to buy or sell a hospice, HSS teammates can offer insight and give you the confidence you need to move forward.
