Q: If asked by a CEO/
administrator why they should
get their physicians certified,
what would you say?
TF: It shows a dedication to
patients and families to say, "all
of our physicians are certified in
this field and really know what
they are doing." I say that all the
time to my patients in reassuring
them that no matter which of my
colleagues is on call, we are all
certified.
AM: Physicians that are
committed to ongoing
professional development and
specifically, HMDCB-certified, are
best suited to meet the
increasing operational,
regulatory, and compliance
challenges and clinical demands
of the 21st century hospice and
palliative medicine physician.
AT: I would tell them to get their
physicians certified by HMDCB as
this is the only exam that
prepares us to learn not only the
clinical care of hospice patients
but also realize the important
contribution of all the
stakeholders involved in such
care.
Q: Why do you think
HMDCB benefits the
hospice field?
TF: Patient care is the reason we
are all here. Anything that raises
the quality of the physician raises
the quality of care for the patient.
If all were certified I am certain
we would see less of the negative
examples of hospice in the media.
AM: It provides a level of
standardization across HPM
physicians that patients/families,
employers, payors and
policymakers can expect. In so
doing, is a first step in
demonstrating performance and
outcomes expectations of the
field are improved when
undertaken by a HMDCB
physician.
MS: It helps to recognize and
standardize a large group of
providers who have an extremely
specialized skill set and
knowledge base, that would
otherwise be unable to achieve
certification status.
HMDCB has
significantly
benefited our
hospice by
helping me
understand the
regulatory
aspects of this
field of
medicine...
