Overhaul Your Internal Structure to Be Prepared for the New HHCoPs is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
CMS's new rule for home health agencies constitutes a major shift in the regulations. Changes in the HHCoPs may require HHAs to overhaul their internal structures, especially with the new focus on quality assessment and performance improvement (QAPI). As CMS gears up to propose rules for mandatory provider compliance programs, learn how you can incorporate compliance and ethics activities into your QAPI program, integrate HHCoPs within your compliance program, and appreciate the difference.
Objectives:
- State at least two major changes in the new proposed HHCoPs
- Identify one main focus of the HHCoPs, one main focus of the OIG compliance programs, and one focus they have in common
- Review and discuss OIG’s current expectations for an agency or provider’s corporate ethics and compliance program, as well as the difference between compliance with OIG and compliance with HHCoPs.
