Hospice Documentation Under Scrutiny

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Make no mistake about it, the Hospice Honeymoon Period has come and gone regarding the trust level that CMS has in our provision and documentation of services. In the past few months we have assisted hospices dealing with UPIC Audits, SMRC Audits, Targeted Probe and Educate Audits. The OIG recently issued a scathing report referring to hospice survey deficiencies and citing numerous instances of patients being harmed due to lack of compliance with the Conditions of Participation. This program is designed to inform Hospice Administrators, Physicians, Clinicians and Stakeholders with practical guidance in relation to compliant documentation of services. This is an “Ounce of Prevention” that is needed by all organizations. Please join SMART Healthcare Compliance Resources, LLC presenters Randy Forrest, Partner and Lista Clark, RN for this timely and informative training session.

The Office of Inspector General has announced a nationwide audit to be conducted starting in 2023 relative to hospice beneficiary admissions which are not preceded by a hospital stay or emergency room visit. State Surveyors and Deemed Status Organization’s are being trained and held accountable to ensure the Hospice CoP’s are being followed with emphasis on patient safety.
