ANNUAL CONTINUING EDUCATION
Continuing Education is perfect for a (1) designated Administrator or Alternate who must comply with TAC §558.260, and (2) a prior administrator or alternate not currently designated but maintaining compliance with TAC §558.260, and (3) anyone who wants to improve their knowledge on a broad range of topics specific to TX HCSSAs.
Continuing Education programs are added throughout the year soon after TAHC&H conferences/events conclude. All programs are à la carte, that is, you have the flexibility to browse and order programs that suit your specific needs and are applicable to your role and responsibility.

§558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting
§558.260[a][5]quality improvement
Program Description: Culture is the character of an organization. It touches every part of a business, the service
it provides, the clients it serves and, ultimately, affects its financial performance. While quality elements are defined and regulated in hospice and palliative
care, it is easy for the associated reporting to become just that, a report. What if quality became a member of your team, with a clear job description and
introduced to every new team member on day one? With a clear understanding of how a culture of quality can positively impact patient care, improve employee
satisfaction, regulatory and financial performance, hospice and palliative care leaders can take their quality programming from mundane to meaningful.

A 2021 Hospice Academy Presentation
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Virtual Event | Hospice Academy 2021 | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | August 12, 2021
Program Description: Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), Unified Program Integrity Contractors (UPICs) and
Supplemental Medical Review Contractors (SMRCs) are busy in the hospice industry right now. As CMS and contracted agencies improve their use of data to evaluate
outliers in the hospice community, it’s crucial for providers to understand how data is used, where to find provider information, and how to evaluate documentation
in cases in Long Length of Stay (LLOS) cases. This session will cover the basic factors that contribute to LLOS and identify the proper tools providers can
utilize for tracking decline. The session will also cover the process of completing documentation reviews, what to consider in determining ongoing decline
and terminality, and how to respond to a request for additional review.
