Learn about CDC Guidance on storage, handling, transport and administration requirements of vaccines. Presentation Info: TAHC&H Virtual Event | Spring Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | May 13, 2021 Program Description: Homebound patients deserve an opportunity to receive vaccines in their own home and several laws and regulations govern home care on the best practices of this option. This informative program provides practical guidance on the regulatory and policy expectations of an effective vaccination program at your agency. While agencies are able to administer many vaccines including influenza, Hepatitis B, pneumonia and perform TB testing, via Texas Administrative Code ch. 558.303, there is legislation moving through the Texas Legislative process right now that once signed by our Governor, will allow home health agencies to administer the COVID-19 vaccine and any FDA approved or authorized Vaccine created to mitigate or treat a communicable disease. In this program, you will not only learn about CDC Guidance on storage, handling, transport and administration requirements of vaccines, but you will have plenty of take away tools to bolster your policies and logs and leave confident on how to bill for these services.

The Secret World of HIS Measures - How CMS Validates and Changes Your HIS Responses

[3501] The Secret World of HIS Measures - How CMS Validates and Changes Your HIS Responses
Are your agency's HIS scores lower than you expected? Are you trying to figure out how you could be less than 100%? You are not alone! Presentation Info: TAHC&H Virtual Event | Winter Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | February 9, 2021 Program Description: Are your agency's HIS scores lower than you expected? Are you trying to figure out how you could be less than 100%? You are not alone! Hospice agencies across the nation are surprised that their comprehensive assessment composite, as well as some of the individual scores are lower than expected per CMS data. Did you know that even if you answer positively to some of these process measures, CMS has "Validation questions" embedded in the HIS to ensure your answers represent the measure, as CMS defines it. Literally, you may say "Yes, we screened the patient for pain"- but if any of the following questions - date, rating or type of standardized tool are not answered correctly, per the measure, CMS will change your answer to "No, we did not screen the patient for pain". This presentation uncovers these validation questions, and provides a thorough understanding of the measures, per CMS guidance, and how to be successful 100% of the time!
