Patient Data Vault (PDV) Begins 4th Year

Posted by Greg Schneider on October 24, 2011 at 7:56pm

HVA has processed nearly 30,000 forms for its member hospices since it first launched its Patient Data Vault (PDV) subscription service 3 years ago.  This service has made the lives of many volunteer coordinators and their volunteers much easier at an extremely low price -- only $1.95 per volunteer per month and that cost is only if the volunteer actually uses the service in the billing period.

HVA's goal is to provide low cost services to our members that improve the care of the dying. 

Have you ever had to coordinate a vigil for a dying patient on a Friday night just as you are ready to walk out the door to meet your family or friends for dinner?

Did you know that you could complete that task in just minutes without making a phone call or sending an e-mail?  That is the power of the PDV!

Do you have to file monthly reports for your hospice in conjunction with meeting your 5% requirement?  Do it in minutes with the PDV.

We have not had one of our member hospices stop using the service once they have gotten up to speed and began using it.  They find it makes interacting with and coordinating volunteers easy and efficient.  And more importantly, volunteers like the ease of submitting online.

We even offer a 30-day free trial.  You will never get a better return on investment for your $1.95 than you will with the PDV.

Are you still pushing paper and paying for postage?  Don't really need to do that anymore -- the PDV eliminates those outdated methods.

Surviving Hospice: A Chaplain's Journey into the Big Business of Dying Plus: How To Find a Trustworthy Hospice 

This narrative is an insider’s look into the hijacking of hospice by private equity and professional investors and the subsequent harm to patients, their families, and to the interdisciplinary clinical teams. It was released by a NYC publisher on October 31, 2023. For sale on Amazon.

The author, a hospice chaplain, tells end-of-life stories of her patients who were harmed by financially-motivated policies. This is a book for anyone who is embarking on making a choice about a hospice for their loved one, working chaplains, those in training, and those interested in what dying is like with a hospice who places patients as their primary stakeholders.

Maryclaire's experience working for an owner who sold to a private equity firm helped her to realize that the reputation and viability of hospice is in jeopardy. Her goal is to alert all who love hospice to rid it of professional investors.

— Stacy Juba, author, editor, and award-winning health journalist

"Powerful, beautifully written, and eye-opening, this book spotlights the inner workings of a multi-billion-dollar industry and the effect on patients, families, and hospice staff. The author shares poignant accounts of hospice at its best and worst and the hard-hitting truths she learned on her journey. A must-read for family members exploring hospice care."

— Laura Kukowski, CEO, editor, For-Profit Badger Hospice, LLC

"Maryclaire Torinus speaks with authority, providing this essential handbook for choosing a hospice care team and why that selection really matters."

— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care 

"When I first found out that Maryclaire Torinus was writing this book, I immediately contacted her because in my 25+ years supporting hospice volunteers, I have seen a gradual decline in the quality of care volunteers are permitted to provide the dying and their families. There are a variety of reasons for this that I describe in the Foreward of this book. Maryclaire provides invaluable insights that everyone should know, along with solutions to help others make the right choice in choosing a hospice."
