Get Ahead of Compliance Threat at End of PHE - On-Demand

Available ON-DEMAND

Presented on: Tuesday, May 24, 2022

Presented by: Robert W. Markette Jr., JD, CHC, HCS-C, attorney with Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman PC

Set your home health and hospice agency up for success at the end of the public health emergency (PHE) and avoid compliance risks that could emerge as the industry unravels the tangled web of changes made during the pandemic.

Compliance expert Robert Markette will show you how to build a seamless transition to post-pandemic compliance. He’ll review the key emergency waivers that were put in place, and the policies that may require a new path forward post-pandemic, as we navigate federal and state regulatory changes like supervisory visits, in-person training, and telemedicine.

You’ll get examples of waivers that you can start sunsetting early and how to plan for those waivers that will be hard to see go. Markette will also teach you how to position your agency for success once the end of the PHE is announced, and how staff training and internal auditing will be crucial to your survey success after the PHE ends.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Weigh whether existing waivers are critical or could be abandoned prior to the end of the PHE
• Set a process to adjust operations at the end of the PHE for waivers that can’t be unwound early
• Identify changes in laws and regulations that will impact a return to “normal operations”
• Implement staff training and internal auditing around the end of the PHE to adjust to a mix of new and old compliance standards
