Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) - Implementation for Home Health & Hospice

[3745] Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) - Implementation for Home Health & Hospice
Describes the process for setting up a CDI in your agency to improve multiple aspects of your agency's operation. Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | February 9, 2023 Program Description: CDI is rapidly making its way into the home health and hospice industry! The onslaught of medical reviews resulting in denial of payment, significant overpayments, and even suspension of payments has pointed out one clear fact - a Clinical Documentation Improvement Program is tantamount to survival. The name is new; the process is not. Agencies have been doing many pieces of CDI for years but have failed to formalize it into a robust CDI Program. Improving documentation to support skilled need, coding, outcomes, quality initiatives, reimbursement is ongoing and is distributed among many roles in the office. But the time to formalize the program is NOW! This presentation describes the process for setting up a CDI in your agency with the purpose being to improve patient outcomes, prevent denials, maintain survey readiness, improve the integrity of documentation and coding process to ensure accurate reimbursement, protect the agency from liability and claims errors, improve Agency Star Ratings, Value Based Purchasing Outcomes, and CAHPS while maintaining peace of mind in the agency's overall operation. CDI can be a part of the QAPI program, but CDI goes beyond the QAPI program involving metrics, financials and operations in addition to clinical functions tracked in QAPI.

HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting Program Description: The Public Health Emergency (PHE) due to the COVID-19 Pandemic lasted much longer than anyone anticipated or desired. Many regulations were adapted to assist agencies as they attempted to continue providing care in extraordinary circumstances. As the industry attempts to return to more normal operations we have to wonder if it will it ever be truly “normal” again? Do we really want it to be? Some aspects, such as the ability to work remotely, have boosted employee satisfaction and increased productivity. Is bringing everyone back to in person working situations the best plan? Should we have clinicians back in the office for education, meetings and case conferences? Will changes impact my current staffing challenges, and how? This session will help you inspire your team, through culture and leadership, to begin the process of defining what the “new normal” looks and feels like for your organization.

Setting and Holding Professional Boundaries in Private Home Care

[3666] Setting and Holding Professional Boundaries in Private Home Care
Reviews what's okay and what's not okay when it comes to staff's relationships with clients, and how to mitigate the potential risks to the agency. Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | Spring Virtual Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | May 12, 2022 Program Description: When we talk about boundaries in private duty home care, we sometimes cringe. We cringe because we know that even our best staff cross professional boundaries with their clients, and some obliterate boundaries altogether. This happens despite an agency's best efforts to put professional boundary measures in place and communicate about them constantly. When added to the stressors of daily operations, this frustrating topic gets placed at the bottom of the priority list. "It's going to happen anyway, and our efforts backfire, so what can we do about it?"

Part One | Hospice Medical Review in a Medicare Certified World. This program takes agencies through the winding road of Medicare scrutiny. While billing the Medicare benefit and getting paid relatively easy, there is always a risk of things being reviewed at some point and what can you do to avoid denials. Participants will be able to define Targeted Probe & Educate (TPE) and outline the structure of how to respond to any level of medical review that may occur, including UPIC, RA, SMRC. Part Two | Hospice Documentation Supporting Eligibility. Accurate hospice eligibility documentation is critical to fulfilling the CoPs and payment requirements. The lack of supporting documentation for a terminal prognosis is the number one reason for claim denials under Medical Review. The clinical documentation must go beyond the LCDs and common tools for documenting eligibility by drilling down to the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal and chronic patients with the same diagnosis. TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter(s): Candyce Slusher, LVN, CDCS, Owner of SLUSHER Consulting About the Presenter(s): Candyce Slusher is a geriatric-focused nurse serving San Antonio since 1995 in multiple settings, specifically PAS since 2004.
