Leadership Lesson with Marcylle: Resilience Through Change

As leaders in home health and hospice, we know one thing for certain: change is constant. Regulations shift, reimbursement models evolve, technology updates roll out, and patient needs grow more complex. These changes aren’t optional; they’re part of the landscape. The question isn’t if change will happen, but how we lead through it. That’s where resilience comes in.

Resilience isn’t about pretending change is easy. It’s about building the capacity to adapt without losing focus or burning out. In our field, resilience means helping teams navigate uncertainty while staying grounded in our mission: delivering exceptional care.
Here’s what resilience looks like in action:
• Clear Communication: When change hits, silence breeds fear. Share what you know, acknowledge what you don’t, and keep the dialogue open.
• Purpose Anchoring: Remind your team why their work matters. When the “why” is strong, the “how” feels less overwhelming.
• Flexibility with Structure: Offer stability where you can process expectations while allowing room for creativity and problem-solving.

As leaders, we set the tone. If we approach change with calm confidence and a willingness to learn, our teams will follow. Resilience isn’t a trait; it’s a practice. And in home health and hospice, it’s essential for sustaining both quality care and team well-being.

What’s one way you can model resilience for your team this week?

Navigating the Ryan Haight Act: What Hospice Leaders Need to Know
In 2001, Ryan Haight, a young man, tragically died from an overdose of prescription medication he obtained online. His death spurred the 2008 enactment of the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act. At its core, the act was designed to curb the illegal sale of controlled substances online, requiring practitioners to conduct at least one in-person evaluation before prescribing controlled medications via telehealth.

While well-intentioned, the legislation has had far-reaching consequences across healthcare, particularly in telemedicine and hospice care. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted temporary waivers to the act, allowing controlled substances to be prescribed remotely. These flexibilities, now extended until December 31, 2025, have highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of telehealth in hospice and palliative care.

Impact on Hospice and Telehealth

Hospice leaders know that timely access to medications is critical for patients’ comfort and quality of life. However, the Ryan Haight Act and the DEA’s proposed new rules could impose additional hurdles. The act originally required in-person evaluations, a standard difficult to implement for homebound hospice patients. During the pandemic, waivers allowed telehealth prescriptions for Schedule II–V medications, including opioids and other necessary medications for symptom management.

The DEA’s proposed “Advanced Telemedicine Prescribing Registration” (ATP Registration) would formalize a special registration process for prescribing controlled substances via telemedicine. Hospice and palliative care physicians would need to navigate new registration, documentation, and monitoring requirements. While intended to balance access with safety, these rules could increase administrative burdens, delay care, and create operational challenges for hospice programs.
