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!

About the Presenter(s): Ann Lozano started in home health care accidently in 2006 while she was figuring out what to do with a Political Science and Business degree in San Antonio. Her original plan of becoming Michael J Fox from Spin City didn’t seem to have as much potential as she originally thought. A part time job in a private pay PAS agency turned into managing a private pay PAS agency which turned into Regional Director for a Medicaid PAS program and then to Administrator at an adult Home Health Agency. She started her consulting company with her business partner in 2013 and since then has had the opportunity to work with Home Health and Hospice clients across the US with a focus in Texas.
