Hospice Volunteer Hours Calculator

A Medicare condition of participation requires hospice volunteers to provide day-to-day administrative or direct patient care services amounting to at least 5 percent of the total patient care hours of paid employees and contract staff — with fundraising and board service explicitly not counting. This workbook categorises every volunteer entry, totals the paid hours you tell it to include, shows the calculation step by step so it can be checked rather than trusted, and gives you the SHORTFALL IN HOURS — the number that is useful in July rather than in January.

• Numerator and denominator shown separately and step by step
