Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence

education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.

Program Description: The Public Health Emergency (PHE) due to the COVID-19 Pandemic lasted much longer than anyone anticipated or desired.
Many regulations were adapted to assist agencies as they attempted to continue providing care in extraordinary circumstances. As the industry attempts to return to more normal
operations we have to wonder if it will it ever be truly “normal” again? Do we really want it to be? Some aspects, such as the ability to work remotely, have boosted employee
satisfaction and increased productivity. Is bringing everyone back to in person working situations the best plan? Should we have clinicians back in the office for education,
meetings and case conferences? Will changes impact my current staffing challenges, and how? This session will help you inspire your team, through culture and leadership,
to begin the process of defining what the “new normal” looks and feels like for your organization.

homecare systems being used in pediatric nursing and therapy: None of them prepared his Pediatric Homecare company for where the market was going. His primary job

that even our best staff cross professional boundaries with their clients, and some obliterate boundaries altogether. This happens despite an agency's best efforts
to put professional boundary measures in place and communicate about them constantly. When added to the stressors of daily operations, this frustrating topic
gets placed at the bottom of the priority list. "It's going to happen anyway, and our efforts backfire, so what can we do about it?" This session reviews
what's okay and what's not okay when it comes to staff's relationships with clients, and how to mitigate the potential risks to the agency.

Program Description:There are nearly 20 million veterans in the United States and
30% of those veterans have multiple chronic conditions that may be managed by private duty care. Most veterans and
private duty organizations are unaware of the multiple funding sources available to pay for veterans care.
Educating your team on the variety of benefits available to veterans for post- acute care (private duty,
home health, and hospice care) will ensure that your organization is ready to grow your referral
sources while providing a niche market to those that have served our country so well.

Maintaining Annual Requirements for PAS and Private Duty Agencies
[3664] Don't Scramble When the State Shows Up: Maintaining Annual Requirements for PAS and Private Duty Agencies
Reviews minimum requirements, and presents when it's best for agencies to do more than the minimum!
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | Spring Virtual Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | May 12, 2022
Program Description: When keeping up with the daily operations of home care; client management, Covid-19 protocols, and just
getting people to show up, the more mundane tasks and less-pressing regulatory requirements can easily take a back seat. We all learned what's required of us when
we first opened, but for agencies with no designated compliance officer, some of these necessary items get shoved in the trunk until "State's in the building".
This session reviews some of the minimum requirements, and presents when it's best for our agencies to do more than the minimum.

Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.
