SERIES DETAILS

This five-part comprehensive compliance series will cover the Medicare Hospice Conditions of Participation (CoPs). Industry expert Kathy Ahearn will break down the CoPs into manageable sections that focus on specific hospice team members. The series will ensure your agency has a solid compliance foundation and clarify the confusion when it comes to overwhelming or vague CoP requirements. It will review the roles, responsibilities, and regulations surrounding the medical director, attending physician, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, the interdisciplinary team, social workers, spiritual caregivers, nurses, aides, bereavement professionals, and volunteer managers and programs. Other critical aspects such as the CTI, F2F requirements, hospice eligibility, the 5% requirement, documentation, bereavement counseling, and so much more will be addressed. A well-run and compliant agency will ensure you provide the best possible care to patients, families, and the community.
