🆕 EGSS National Report and Executive Summary 🔔 The Evaluation of Grief Support Services (EGSS) survey is an NHPCO member resource designed to help providers evaluate grief support services from the perspective of the recipients of those services. The survey takes a comprehensive approach by including a wide range questions, many of which are optional so hospice providers can tailor the survey to reflect the services they offer. The National Report publishes aggregated data collected from the EGSS to track performance in the critical area of grief support. NHPCO members also have access to a data dashboard tool that enables providers who have used the EGSS survey to compare their scores to national averages. New to EGSS and want to learn how it may be valuable for your organization? Check out the Executive Summary, available to all: https://lnkd.in/eij52U9f Members can also access the full EGSS report from the link above.
