WEBINAR DETAILS
The hospice live discharge process is complex to
understand and undertake. Due to length of stay and eligibility dilemmas, one
in five patients could face an unexpected live discharge, with even higher
chances for those with non-cancer diagnoses or for patients in for-profit hospices.
This webinar will help staff differentiate between revocations and
hospice-driven discharges. Ongoing eligibility, the live discharge process, discharge
planning, avoiding burdensome transitions, and supporting the continuum of care
will be reviewed. The session will educate staff about the live discharge process
from beginning to end, including handling appeals, which occur frequently with
long length-of-stay patients.
With increased CMS scrutiny, the Live Discharges: How, When & Why Package will answer frequently asked questions about when to live discharge, the impact on Medicare CAPs, reports to review, and how to avoid burdensome live discharges, which are detrimental to your agency’s HCI score.
