WEBINAR DETAILS

Medicare eligibility of live discharges remains a target area for CMS, so they should be an area of focus for all hospice agencies. Do staff understand the live discharge process, qualifications, and required documentation? Does your agency proactively manage and monitor the compliance complexities surrounding live discharges? Is your CAP and LOS an area of concern? Is your agency plagued with ADRs and patient eligibility issues? Is your HCI score adversely affected by burdensome transitions? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Live Discharges: How, When & Why Package will benefit your agency.

Part 1 will review the five types of allowable live discharges, how to proceed with each, the required documentation, and best practices to avoid problematic discharges. This program will evaluate the use of monitoring tools and reports for benchmarking and measuring compliance to prevent unwanted scrutiny. Learn best practices for live discharges, including working with frontline staff on hospice eligibility, which impacts live discharge statistics.
