WEBINAR DETAILS
A
hospice agency is responsible for numerous services, including ongoing
assessments, care planning, coordination, monitoring, and care provided by the
hospice interdisciplinary group (IDG). The IDG determines if hospice aide
services are necessary and hospice aides are assigned to a specific patient by
a registered nurse (RN). An RN oversees the hospice aide, including supervision
and preparing written patient care instructions as part of the plan of care. A recent report by the Office of Inspector
General (OIG) determined that registered nurses did not always visit hospice
patients’ homes at least once every 14 days to assess the quality of care and
services provided by hospice aides or document the visits in accordance with federal
requirements.
The
webinar will look at how CMS identifies disparities in compliance, frequent
survey deficiencies related to compliance and aide supervision, how to keep
your agency compliant, and how to enhance RN supervision of aides. CMS
has temporarily waived the requirement for both the two-week and annual
supervisory visits for the duration of the Public Health Emergency (PHE). But
as more people are vaccinated, the PHE expiration draws closer. That means
resumption of supervisory visits! Now is the time to initiate visit planning
and documentation which are critical to complying with this Medicare
requirement. This webinar refresher is a terrific way to get your staff motivated
to begin meeting this key condition of participation again.
