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

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

Summary:Key employment issues impacting the home health care and hospice industry.
HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed:
§558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities
§558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting
Faculty: Stern, Daniel
Program Description:
Two years ago it felt like a new employment rule was put into effect each week but now it seems like a daily occurrence.
Most of the activity is being generated by state and federal agencies making it extremely difficult to remain up to date
on employment law issues. This program presents the hot buttons of liability including which employees are exempt under
the Fair Labor Standards Act and how to pay them (the new regulations will make it much more expensive).
The federal government has also issued new guidance regarding independent contractors.
Compensable time quandaries such as travel, on-call, waiting time and bonuses (discretionary and/or non-discretionary) are discussed.
If you use the companionship exemption, you need to know the Department of Labor seems to have succeeded in basically eliminating
it for home health care agencies. The need to provide leaves of absence seems to have expanded to the point that employees may not ever have to come to work.
Finally, we are still having fun reading what the National Labor Relations Board says employees may post on Facebook about employers...and not be disciplined! Presentation Date: 11.17.2015
Program Objectives: Upon completion of this program, the viewer will be able to:
Identify key employment issues impacting the home health care and hospice industry
Discuss ways to effectively respond to the new issues impacting the home health care and hospice industry.
Identify expected changes in regulatory agency enforcement activity
Describe effective tools for preventing employment related claims
About the Presenter:
Daniel Stern advises employers on labor and employment matters including
affirmative action plans; wage and hour issues; and discrimination and harassment claims. By recommending and developing effective employment policies
and procedures, he helps clients reduce the risk of employment-related lawsuits.

the human resources field, and he provides day-to-day counseling which enables clients to make wise decisions in human resource matters. Understanding the

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!

Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | 55th Annual Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | September 10, 2024
Program Description: This training program addresses the unique therapeutic paths that children with
chronic or progressive conditions may demonstrate and will offer a lens through which we can view and analyze along the way. Context and
perspective are key when selecting assessment tools and interpreting findings, as well as when making decisions around medical necessity,
dosage, and interventions. Routines and priorities unique to the individual child/family are particularly important for children with chronic
or progressive conditions, given their complexity, and best practice for gathering and utilizing this vital information is addressed.
Additionally, perspective and language around goal development and collaboration with caregivers is explored. There are times in the
life of a child with a chronic or progressive condition where strategic use of the Maintenance Level / Prevent Deterioration frequency/dosage
level (as outlined in the TMPPM), may be most appropriate. This training program also describes the benefits of this dosage level, and
how it can be utilized most effectively.

cost-free ways to make it happen! This huge oversight is a massive opportunity for those in the
Home Care business who act quickly. In this program you will learn economical, fool-proof ways to exploit this
enormous gap resulting in more clients -- and the ability to attract more quality staff to serve them. Your view
of marketing Home Care services will be turned completely upside down. Presentation Date: 08.11.2016

Discuss economical ways to use social media in successful marketing to clients and to attract higher quality staff.

facing owners of home care agencies in a book titled, Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Home Care Industry to be published Fall 2016.

Program Description: Home Health rehab reforms have
modified many therapy requirements including elimination of the 10-visit threshold, objective testing, and

will focus on the rehab content in homecare programs as they seek greater efficiency under decreased utilization
to achieve cost reduction goals.
Therapy ST/LT goal production, skilled per visit documentation, patient compliance,
caregiver involvement, and discharge planning and management are all addressed by a PPS-compliant, objective test-based
therapy evaluation. Clinical case examples will outline the good and bad in current therapy documentation, with strategies
to manage successful therapy programs. Start today on rewiring your rehab concession to assure a skilled, audit-proof therapy program. Presentation Date: 08.12.2015
