§558.260[a][4]ethics
§558.260[a][8]skills for working with clients, families, and other professional service providers
Program Description:Home Health agencies have a duty of care for the patients/clients they serve. A duty of care refers to the obligation to
take responsible care to avoid injury to a person whom, it can be reasonably foreseen, might be injured by an act or omission. Omission is often the area that puts agencies at greatest risk.
A clinician didn’t know how to meet a need, therefore, they overlook that it exist. In home health, the care you provide must be looked at through a multidisciplinary lens where multiple
complex issues will arise. As an Administrator, there will be times you are dependent on outside resources, and community partners, to solve a need. It is also important to understand
ethical issues associated with using outside resources, including ensuring that there are no “kickbacks” associated with using other community partners.
This presentation teaches Administrators how, and where, to locate community resources for their patients/clients, how to utilize community resources in an
ethical way, as well as how to train field staff, to recognize issues in the home care setting that might warrant the use of community resources.
Program Learning Outcome: Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and identify ethical issues associated with using community resources
and ways to recognize issues in the home care setting that might warrant the use of community resources.

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.

Faculty: Haff, Alicia
Program Description: The US Treasury Department published final regulations
implementing Employer Shared Responsibility Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for 2015. The final rules provide, for 2015, that an
employer responsibility provision will generally apply to larger firms with 100 or more full-time employees starting in 2015 and
employers with 50 or more full-time employees starting in 2016.
This program addresses the transition provisions, and clarifies whether employees of certain
types or in certain occupations are considered full-time, including volunteers. It provides information about the employer
responsibility provisions in 2015 such as who must offer coverage to at least 70 percent of full-time employees as
one of the conditions for avoiding an assessable payment, rather than 95 percent which will begin in 2016. Alicia also discusses
the full-time employee status determination and an optional look-back measurement method to make it easier to determine
whether employees with varying hours and seasonal employees are full-time, help clarify the method and the
alternative monthly method of determining full-time status, and review the final rules which provide safe harbors that
make it easy for employers to determine whether the coverage they offer is affordable to employees and next steps for simplifying
employer information reporting. Presentation Date: 8.21.2014
Program Objectives: Upon completion of this program, the viewer will be able to:
Recognize that knowledge is power when understanding the employer mandate.
Identify which employer size “sandbox” applies to your organization.
Identify which employees must be offered coverage in 2015 to avoid costly penalties.
Design a recordkeeping system to track employer mandate requirements.
