40 Hours Back: What Hospice Teams Gain with Proactive DME Support

In this mini-webinar, Hall Thorp, Chief Strategy Officer at Qualis, joins host Cortney Swartwood, Senior Marketing Manager, to uncover a surprising source of burnout in hospice teams: DME coordination. In just 10 minutes, Hall shares how a proactive DME support model can return 40 hours per week back to your team—without replacing your current vendors. Through real-world data and practical examples, this session helps hospice leaders rethink how DME is managed, and why smarter coordination creates immediate value for staff, patients, and families.

Key Takeaways:

✔️ DME Coordination Is a Hidden Time Sink
Hall reveals how RNs, case managers, and triage staff are often doing work that should be handled by a DME support partner—costing hospices 40+ hours a week.

✔️ Where the Time Really Goes
From chasing order updates to resolving billing issues, Hall breaks down how each “minor” task adds up to a full-time job’s worth of distractions.

✔️ The Real Cost of Lost Time
When equipment is late or incorrect, families notice—and patient experience, staff morale, and compliance all take a hit.

✔️ A DME Command Center, Not a Headache
Qualis delivers centralized order tracking, real-time notifications, and vendor performance oversight—all without burdening your hospice team.

✔️ Scalable for ADC 30 to 3,000
Whether you’re small and nimble or multi-regional, Qualis flexes with your growth and doesn’t force a one-size-fits-all model.

✔️ No Need to Change Your Vendors
You don’t have to disrupt what’s working. Qualis integrates with your current DME providers to enhance service—not replace it.
