SUMMARY:HHWN WEBINAR: Hospice Live Discharges: The Who\, What\, When & How
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nLive discharges are not just an operational detail.

This can constitute a reason for suspension of Medicare payments when providers experience greater than average percentages of hospice live discharges. \nThere are five allowable live discharges within the Medicare hospice benefit. In this presentation we will walk through each of them — the requirements\, documentation\, and process each provider must follow. Hospice provider quality scores plus additional reports reflect live discharges; therefore\, it is imperative to understand how you are monitored in order to implement best practices with the live discharge process. Best practices\, reviewing trends\, reports\, avoiding “risky” admissions\, and how to improve overall agency quality standings will be addressed. \nTHIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:\nHospice \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND?\nAdministrators\nMedical directors and hospice team physicians\nDirectors of patient care services/Directors of clinical services\nClinical management/hospice supervisors\nQA Directors/education directors\nHospice case managers and field staff RNs\nSocial work/counseling services\nIntake coordinators – hospice admission nurses \nTAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT\nEmployee training log\nInteractive quiz\nPDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions\nAttendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits \nNOTE: All materials are subject to copyright.
