Compliance for the Hospice Nurse & Aide

The hospice nurse and aide roles are critical in supporting all aspects of hospice Medicare eligibility, from certification of terminal illness to ongoing visits and IDG documentation. This webinar will delve into the CoPs requirements for hospice eligibility, and how to meet them through development of the plan of care (POC), including ongoing assessments and updates. Best practices for utilizing both nursing and aide services will be addressed as well as how to avoid common compliance challenges. It will also cover the four levels of care, required supporting documentation for each level, and how to avoid high-risk admissions with the potential to trigger audits. Join us to learn aide oversight requirements, how to maintain compliance, and how to avoid a survey deficiency or medical review.

This informative session is designed for COOs, CEOs, CFOs, board members, nursing leadership, clinical supervisors, RN coordinators, case managers, hospice aides, admission and intake nurses, LVNs, quality assurance staff, and new clinical staff needing support with hospice eligibility, documentation, and onboarding.
