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.
There are five (5) Programs included in this Package:
[3751] PAS | Preventing Common Citations: What to Expect During a PAS Survey or Investigation
Program Description: Providing personal assistance services is challenging, but especially so in a post-public health emergency environment. This session highlights
the areas of noncompliance that were frequently cited for personal assistance services (PAS) agencies in Texas during state fiscal year 2022. The presenter provides tips to prevent citations, documentation requirements,
and discuss ways to self-assess performance. This training will help the agency administrator prepare for surveys and investigations by strengthening the understanding of State licensing standards and expectations.
[View more details for this program HERE]
[3752] PAS | QAPI for PAS Agencies
Program Description: Texas has long mandated Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) activities for all HCSSAs.
This focus has become sharper during the public health emergency and increased survey deficiencies have been cited in this area. This presentation will help the agency
conduct QAPI activities in ways that are efficient and that result in confident, successful surveys. [View more details for this program HERE]
[3753] PAS | Emergency Preparedness: Every PAS Provider Should Have a Plan
Program Description: As a home care provider, planning is important because you have to make sure your agency and its staff members
have the supplies needed to safely care for your clients in times of emergency. When planning for contingencies, home care providers must consider a variety of hazards and events
that could impact their patients. Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, radiation releases, chemical exposures, seasonal and pandemic influenza, and acts
of terrorism are just a few examples. There are 5 phases of emergency preparedness that must be in place. In this presentation you learn the simple measures that home care providers
can implement to increase the personal readiness of their clients and themselves. Additionally, you become familiar with existing emergency response plans, processes, and procedures
in both the workplace and community. Once you are armed with the necessary resources, help your clients, their family members, and other caregivers to be prepared, assemble a kit,
make a plan and be informed. [View more details for this program HERE]
[3754] PAS | PAS Reporting Requirements
Program Description: When operating a PAS home care agency, it can be daunting to figure out which
rules apply to your agency, how to modify certain home health statutes that do apply, and to make sense of them for your non-medical business model.
This presentation discusses why it is important to capture information about your clients and staff through documentation, and what reporting can and should look like for PAS.
[View more details for this program HERE]
[3755] PAS | Preparing Your PAS Personnel Files for a Successful Survey
Program Description: Do you find that you are often asking yourself if a document belongs in your employee’s HR file?
Does it belong in the confidential file? Does it need a separate file? How long are you supposed to keep the files?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you do not want to miss noted speaker, Valerie Cornett, as she prepares you for a successful survey related to your personnel files.
This presentation will guide you through the required documents, annual education requirements and evidence needed to assure you are survey ready
and compliant with regulations and Texas Administrative Code, OSHA and much more! [View more details for this program HERE]

Program Description: Do you ever worry that your caregivers could be “crossing the line” when
it comes to assistance with self-administration of certain medications? Do your staff really provide “hand-over-hand” assistance with eye drops
and inhalers? What about those clients who need their oral medications crushed or put in food? If you own a PAS in Texas, and you’re not yet
providing RN Delegation as a specialty program, then you could be doing your clients a dis-service, or unknowingly breaking the rules. Our
primary goal in PAS is make the lives of our clients and their families simpler. So, if we “draw the line” at those much-needed tasks that
must be delegated, then are we really giving them the best service we can?

to both move higher and create a lasting leadership footprint. Everything rises and falls on leadership; nothing more, nothing less.

§558.260[a][7]financial management
Program Description: Most home health and hospice providers have one or two experiences at buying or
selling an agency. This can make the task daunting, confusing, frustrating, and just downright confounding. This presentation reveals an
open discussion between an experience mergers and acquisitions broker and an experienced mergers and acquisitions attorney in the home health and hospice fields. Both discuss:
why someone might want to sell their agency
why someone might want to buy an agency
when someone might not want to sell their agency
when a potential purchaser may decide if a particular agency is worth what the seller wants
While they discuss the regulatory ins and outs of the process, they will also discuss the practical side in making a decision to either buy or sell an agency.
Program Learning Outcome:
Participants will actively engage in the discussion by identifying the complexities of a successful merger or acquisition of a home care agency.
