Program Description: When keeping up with the daily operations of home care; client management, Covid-19 protocols, and just getting people to show up, the more mundane tasks and less-pressing regulatory requirements can easily take a back seat. We all learned what's required of us when we first opened, but for agencies with no designated compliance officer, some of these necessary items get shoved in the trunk until "State's in the building". This session reviews some of the minimum requirements, and presents when it's best for our agencies to do more than the minimum.
