As covered entities, hospices and home care providers are required to manage patients’ electronic protected health information (EPHI) and paper-based medical records in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy and security rules. Noncompliance can lead to substantial fines (up to $1.5 million for privacy breaches), negative publicity, compromised patients, unhappy families, and damaged reputations. Does your organization lawfully manage electronic and traditional PHI? Have you established policies and strategies to ensure HIPAA compliance? Are your business associates, including physicians and subcontractors, in compliance? Join us to learn about records risks, policies, and compliance management best practices for hospices and home care providers.

The FY2020 Hospice Wage Index and Payment Rate Update and Hospice Quality Reporting Requirements brought changes of great interest. These range from wage index updates, to rebasing the level of care rates, to election statement changes. This session will analyze the changes and comments that were sent in between the proposed and final rules to provide insight into the current state and future of hospice. The Hospice Quality Reporting Program (HQRP) is continuously being massaged and current updates will be reviewed during this webinar.
