Meeting the Hospice Conditions of Participation (CoPs) is a daunting task. CoPs can be overwhelmingly lengthy as well as frustratingly vague at times. Industry expert Kathy Ahearn will break down the CoPs for hospice personnel, including nurses and aides, chaplains and social workers, volunteers, and bereavement teams.
Learn best practices for utilizing both nurses and aides and the common compliance challenges. Understand social work and spiritual care related regulations for chaplains and social workers, as well as levels of licensing, assessment guidance, documentation, and how to stay involved when visits are refused. Ensure your volunteer training program meets the Medicare 5% requirements and discover key regulations and offer suggestions for bereavement care and programming, especially with limited staff and resources.
