Setting Professional Boundaries in Home Health and Hospice

Professional boundaries guide the relationships that you have with patients and their families. Throughout this course, learners will explore what we mean when we talk about "professional boundaries." We'll start by taking a look at how setting professional boundaries can protect your patients, your organization and yourself. From there, we'll explore risky behaviors that can lead to crossed boundaries, take a look at a few examples, and wrap up with guidelines for setting appropriate boundaries with your patients and their families.

This course aligns with ACHC home health and hospice standards.
