Compliance for the Hospice Nurse & Aide

Hospice nurses and aides are critical in supporting all aspects of hospice Medicare eligibility, from certification of terminal illness to ongoing visit and IDG documentation. This webinar will delve into the CoPs, hospice eligibility requirements, and how to support eligibility through plan of care (POC) development, ongoing assessments, and POC updates. This webinar will cover best practices for using both nursing and aide services and address common agency compliance challenges and how to avoid them. Learn more about hospice eligibility, the four levels of care, required documentation to support each level, and how to avoid high-risk admissions that may trigger audits. In addition, the webinar will include aide oversight requirements and how to maintain compliance to avoid a survey deficiency.

This informative session is designed for nursing leadership, clinical supervisors, RN coordinators and case managers, hospice aides, admission nurses, intake nurses, LVN staff, quality assurance personnel, and all new clinical staff seeking support with hospice eligibility, documentation, and onboarding.
