Medicare Compliance Series: Hospice Nurses & Aides

This session will review the roles of hospice RNs and aides. Frequent areas of survey challenges deal with hospice aides, supervision, and the hospice plan of care. Documentation, including assessments, what is required, and how to document to support terminality will be covered. This includes addressing common compliance and documentation challenges. The webinar will also review high-risk admissions, how to use the LCDs in documentation, understanding the levels of care, required documentation, and common practices that put agencies at both survey and financial risk and how to avoid them.
