WEBINAR DETAILS
Join us for a review of the role of social workers, counselors, spiritual
caregivers, and chaplains as per the regulations and within the IDG/IDT. These

because visits at critical times in the patient process can increase quality
and reimbursement measures and agency opportunities.
