AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Explain the hospice live discharge process

• Distinguish the role of the care continuum

WEBINAR DETAILS

“We talk up hospice services so much, and then they yank them away.” This is how patients and families often feel when hospice services are discontinued due to ineligibility or other live discharge reasons. Odds are one in five that patients will face the possibility of a live discharge – even higher for people with non-cancer diagnoses or those in a for-profit hospice program.

The live discharge process is complex. This webinar will emphasize ongoing eligibility assessment, discharge planning, and a mechanism to support the care continuum even after services are discontinued. Train staff to know the difference between a revocation and a live discharge. Learn what reports and statistics the government reviews regarding hospice live discharges and whether you are operating under the radar. Further, the need for ongoing hospice eligibility assessment under Medicare will be reviewed, along with additional live discharge concerns and questions.

Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
