· This program meets continuing education requirements for Administrators and Alternates under Texas HCSSA licensing regulations. HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §97.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §97.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §97.260[a][6]risk assessment and management §97.260[a][7]financial management Program Description: Prior to Jan. 13, 2018, many of the things we “kinda” did okay, such as care coordination, comprehensive assessment and plan of care management, became mandatory measures under the new Conditions of Participation. And agencies have struggled! Surveyors continue to site quality of care, care coordination and care planning collectively as one of the top two deficiencies for agencies across the board. By having an in depth understanding of Medicare’s definition of the four “C’s” along with how they build upon each other will lead to more streamlined processes, develop effective care coordination practices and provide better, more patient-centered plans of care thereby helping to “survey proof” your agencies. Program Learning Outcome: Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change their practice by developing effective care coordination practices in line with the updated home health conditions of participation to contribute to improved patient outcomes.
