A bad survey can create many problems for a provider, from disrupting a plan of correction to potential termination of Medicare provider agreement and/or license. Avoiding a bad survey requires providers to maintain compliance. Awareness of surveyors’ focus areas helps to ensure compliance. Medicare also helps this effort by sharing industry survey data. This seminar will look at current survey data and trends to identify areas of significant survey focus.

According to the CDC, there is one death by suicide in the United States every 12 minutes. In hospice and home care this is especially relevant because cancer patients have nearly twice the incidence of suicide as the general population. Working with seriously ill people can create unique challenges that may include navigating the legal system, advocating for self-determination, and understanding organizational policies and community perceptions. This webinar will examine personal, professional, and ethical conflicts, address essential skill sets, and take an in-depth look at how to assess suicidal ideation.

While not much has been written in the CoPs about bereavement, there are several areas where you must ensure regulatory compliance and that quality bereavement care is being provided. One area of concern for hospices is the correlation between bereavement risk assessments and follow-up care for people at medium-to-high risk. The CoPs require bereavement counseling. But which team members are qualified to provide that counseling? This webinar will cover key regulations and offer suggestions for bereavement care and programming, especially with limited staff and resources.
