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.

THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
