HOSPICE Survey Readiness With the NEW Survey Protocols! Tuesday, April 30th 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. PROGRAM OVERVIEW When you are going on a trip and going a way you haven't been before, it is important to have a road map-- to know the directions, and to avoid the pitfalls! CMS has changed the entire hospice survey process, and we have developed a road map for you and your agency to follow, to make the new road feel familiar, and help provide you a smooth survey journey. This session will give you an overview and some real-world details about the new process and provide you with that simplified roadmap to be able to check off each location along the journey of survey preparedness with success! LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Identify the new criteria and steps in the Hospice Surveyor protocols Explain how to best prepare your agency for the hospice survey- from office staff to the IDG with tools and hints along the way Perform a mock survey using the protocols and road map provided- from tandem visits, to the team interviews and medical record reviews SPEAKER Annette Lee is a registered nurse with a master’s degree in health care administration, practicing since 1990.
