    Monthly Newsletter

  The Kansas Home Care & Hospice Association is pleased to bring you this educational program through an agreement with the Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina…

  
  

  Description:  For years, AHHC of NC has published the Partners In Quality Care newsletter for in-home aides. This popular publication includes an informative newsletter, post-test, answer key and certificate. It is designed for one hour of educational credit that includes: 1. Review of Objectives; 2. Reading of educational material from the Partners in Care Newsletter; and, 3. Satisfactory completion of a test. The monthly newsletter serves as an adjunct to satisfy your CMS requirement within the Medicare Conditions of Participation, and the newsletter topics are timely, relevant to home care and can help enrich your in-home aides’ knowledge base.
  
  

  Feedback from KHCHA subscribers:

  • We find these newsletters very insightful and relevant for our home health aides and homemakers.
    
    
  • I'd like to renew - this format worked beautifully to keep our HHA up to speed, and our JCAHO surveyor was very happy with the documentation of the training. Thanks!
    
    

  • Just want to let you know that our employees love this format of education. They even comment on how informative the materials are and how much they enjoy the topics. We really appreciate that KHCHA provides this program at such a reasonable cost.
    
    

  • This training series was well received by our last JCAHO surveyor--it definitely serves the purpose very well!

  CoP on Acceptance to Service: What to Do

  presented by

  Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.

  Health Care Attorney

  Wednesday, March 26, 2025
  ****12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Central Time****

  Replay: Wednesday, April 2, 2025

  Audio-Conference Description
  

  A new Condition of Participation (CoP) requires home health agencies to develop a policy on “acceptance-to-service” that is consistently applied to all referrals received by agencies. The focus of this presentation is on what agencies should do to comply with this requirement. Are agencies allowed to limit the number of Medicare Advantage Plan patients it admits when reimbursement may not cover costs? What does the CoP mean when it says that agencies can take into account “case mix” in policies on acceptance of patients? How must agencies meet requirements to share information with the public about their services? How have surveyors addressed this CoP so far? Join us for an in-depth look at potentially problematic requirements. Get answers to your questions.
