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.
