Hospice Education Network, Inc. Creates Online Education and Training for Hundreds of Hospices

Our population is aging at a faster rate than ever before. There is and will continue to be a growing need for professional caregivers who are skilled at providing care for people at the end of life. 

Since 2007 Hospice Education Network (HEN) has provided online education and training to hospice programs across the country. The educational programs have been used by hundreds of hospices to provide new staff orientation, volunteer training, annual in-services and mandatory regulatory training. 

“We would not be able to do what we do without Mediasite. Because of this technology we are able to produce high quality lectures by nationally known experts in hospice and palliative care. We are able to capture and deploy them rapidly and inexpensively for our subscribers,” said Heather Wilson, CEO of Hospice Education Network. “HEN is most importantly simple to use. We have evaluations for all of our courses and we consistently get high scores on the tech being effective for training. It’s also simple to access and easy to use.”

With more than 160 courses that are relevant to end of life care for hospices and palliative care professionals, HEN has enhanced the skills and competency of thousands of hospice employees and volunteers.  Hospice nurses, social workers, physicians, bereavement counselors, hospice aids – anyone who is part of the hospice team can go to the HEN catalog and find many courses that are relevant to the jobs they do every day.
