Program Description: There has never been a more exciting or challenging time to provide care at home.
With progressive changes in the acute care environment and the need to avoid unnecessary transitions in care, home care agencies will be called upon to
provide ever more aggressive interventions outside the hospital. Are you prepared? Advanced care in the home requires a complete interdisciplinary approach,
and administrative burdens, the need for clinical staff, and the role of a more aggressive model of medical direction will be explored. Learn how to build an agency driven Hospital at Home program.

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.
