NHPCO NewsLine June 2014 - (Page 3)

Because Too Much of a Good Thing is Not Always Good I n today's age of digital and social media, the amount of information we receive each day is not only staggering, but sometimes overwhelming. For NHPCO members, there is even more information to keep track of, especially given the many regulatory and compliance issues. Toward this end, NHPCO is making some changes to its membership communications that we hope will get you the information you need in the most timely and convenient way. Let me briefly review the key communication channels and the changes: NewsBriefs - This weekly e-newsletter, which is distributed to members every Thursday afternoon, will focus on timely news of the week or very recent past. Regulatory Alerts - These one-to-two page communications will continue to call attention to essential late-breaking news. (These Alerts are emailed to members, but are also posted in the Regulatory Center.) Regulatory Round-Ups - These multi-page communications are produced on a monthly basis, recapping news previously shared in NewsBriefs and Regulatory Alerts. (Like the Alerts, they are emailed to members as well as posted in the Regulatory Center.) NewsLine Going Quarterly - As of July, NewsLine will be published on a quarterly basis. Your next issue will be the Fall issue, released in early September, and followed by a Winter issue in December, a Spring issue in March, and a Summer issue in June. There will be no changes to the content of NewsLine. It will continue to feature a range of articles "written by members for members." Of course, the NHPCO website will continue to be the primary hub for information and resources to help you and your staffs, supplemented by information on NHPCO's Caring Connections, We Honor Veterans, and ehospice USA. We trust these changes, while small, will meet your needs (and make your life easier!). If you have any comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know. J.
