Home Care and Hospice Essential Webinar Network

Important fact: clinician documentation impacts compliance and reimbursement.

The hospice industry is under increased scrutiny and auditing from the OIG and CMS. This has resulted in many agencies having claims denied upon audit and the implementation of a new CMS hospice Special Focus Program for underperforming agencies. An increase in public reporting of quality measures has opened the window for referral sources to use this data when choosing referral partners. All of these items have increased the need for improvement in clinician documentation to support terminal illness and compliance with care processes.

This webinar will identify how clinicians can improve documentation from start of care to discharge. It will identify key documentation best practices to support terminal illness and symptom management throughout episodes. Each level of care will be addressed with sample narratives that demonstrate compliance with regulations and reimbursement requirements. The program will wrap up with how your QAPI program can utilize chart reviews to identify potential improvement areas.
