Hospice documentation should paint a very clear
picture of a patient’s eligibility from admission through discharge. Many
agencies are surprised to learn their poor documentation does not support
eligibility when suddenly tasked with an “additional documentation review” and
recoupment of Medicare dollars.
This presentation will explain how to
effectively audit hospice documentation, review the highest-ranking focus areas,
and address what should appear on every hospice documentation audit tool. From
technical requirements to clinical requirements, this presentation will take
you through an effective hospice documentation audit step-by-step. It will also describe how to identify areas of
risk so they can be incorporated into performance improvement.
