Home Care CoPs update 2017

HEALTHCARE Aug 31, 2017 180 minutes
01:00 PM EST 12:00 PM CST 11:00 AM MST 10:00 AM PST

Description:-

There has been no improvement or change within the home health care industry especially in Medicare’s Conditions of Participation (CoPs) in 30 years. Be that as it may, in January, CMS settled in for new models for enhancing the quality of health care services for home health patients and fortifying their rights. These adjustments in the home health CoPs, which must be executed by July thirteenth, 2017, have major effects on home health agencies. So as to be ready for this brief time frame, agencies have to educate and train their workers and adjust their procedures to be agreeable. Surveyors will begin to utilize the new CoPs this summer, therefore, don't put your company at risk. Begin to get ready, teach your staff and actualize the important changes.

Connect with industry veteran Sharon Litwin for our unique Home Health Care Virtual Boot Camp 2017, where she will talk about how critical and important the new CoPs are and how they will influence your company’s everyday operations. This online course will furnish you with the information needed to begin rapidly keeping in mind the end goal to actualize these changes by the imminent deadline of July 13th.
