Better Hour Tracking.

Support Your Reporting
With Organized Hour Records
Track volunteer service hours, understand where time is being spent, and make Medicare 5% reporting easier to manage.
Volunteer coordinators need accurate hour records for day-to-day program management and Medicare reporting. Hospice Docs keeps volunteer service activity organized in one place so coordinators can review hours, understand how volunteer time is being used, and use that same data to support the Medicare 5% requirement.
Track Hospice
Volunteer Hours
Track volunteer time across patient visits, administrative support, and other volunteer service activities.
Hospice Docs gives coordinators a clearer view of volunteer contributions across the program without relying on separate spreadsheets or manually rebuilding hour totals.
Document the Activity Behind Each
Volunteer Hour
Volunteer time can be documented with the details connected to the activity, including the date, start and end time, service type, patient or office, mileage, travel time, and notes.
This allows coordinators to review not only how many hours were reported, but also the volunteer activity that contributed to those totals.
Track Volunteer Hours
by Service Type
Service categories such as patient visits, administrative support, bereavement activities, office support, and other volunteer services help coordinators see where volunteer time is being spent across the program.
This makes it easier to understand how volunteer service time is distributed across the organization
Calculate the Medicare
5% Volunteer Percentage
Hospice Docs tracks volunteer hours in the platform. For the Medicare 5% calculation, your organization enters the paid patient-care hour total from your own payroll, EMR, or other internal system, and Hospice Docs calculates the percentage for the reporting period.
This keeps the volunteer data and calculation together without requiring coordinators to rebuild the same calculation in a separate spreadsheet
Use Volunteer Hour Data for
Reporting and Oversight
Volunteer-hour and activity data can also support program reporting, activity review, and ongoing oversight.
Coordinators can review volunteer participation, service activity, and the details supporting reported hour totals.
