How to Conduct an Audit to Prepare for Survey or ADR

Surveys and ADRs expose documentation gaps that cost agencies penalties and payments. Join Kathy Ahearn for a step-by-step deep dive into comprehensive hospice documentation audits for Conditions of Participation and payment compliance. This session will reveal high-risk areas, teach risk identification, and show how to integrate findings into performance improvement plans that shield agencies from oversight challenges.

Hospice documentation should be audited both for Conditions of Participation and for Conditions for Payment. This presentation will take you through an effective hospice documentation audit step-by-step with a focus on critical areas of risk. Presented will be what should appear on every hospice documentation audit tool from technical to clinical requirements. We will discuss how to identify areas of risk and how to incorporate activities into performance improvement to avoid both survey and financial agency penalties.

Enhanced oversight, pre- and post-payment ADRs, survey preparation, and hospice documentation is more critical than ever. If your agency has had any survey or ADR challenges related to hospice documentation, this presentation is recommended for you.
