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.

[3797] Time Management for Administrators: Balancing Operations with Compliance
How to manage day-to-day issues while working your compliance program.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event 54th Annual Meeting | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | August 31, 2023
Program Description: Administrator’s and Clinical Supervisors never have "enough time". Compliance tends to get pushed to the back burner because it’s
seen as additional work that can be done when all the fires have been put out, until compliance becomes the bonfire we can’t ignore. In this presentation, there is a discussion of the day-to-day issues facing
home-based care agencies, and managing those issues while working your compliance program. Also discussed is how to document efficiently so that completing your compliance is just a matter of running
a report from your EMR. We can’t eliminate emergencies, but we can restructure to stop duplicating work and allow you and your team the one thing more important than coffee; TIME!

Program Description:
There are many moving parts to any organization, but at the core, it’s people who make every industry tick! The emergence of multi -generational

which may challenge even the strongest organizational cultures. By learning to recognize and embrace these differences, organizations can
attract and retain top talent across the generations and build winning teams. This fun and enlightening presentation explores
various myths surrounding generations. Learn how to grow and improve your home health, hospice, or home care organization with practical
