(60-minute on-demand webinar)

The Public Health Emergency (PHE) is ending, now what? Although COVID-19 remains a public health priority, the virus is no longer an emergency. Preparing for the waivers to end is critical to meeting compliance requirements and creating a smooth transition for staff and patients.

WEBINAR DETAILS

A federal Public Health Emergency was declared on January 31, 2020. Agencies began implementing numerous waivers instituted by CMS starting in March of 2020. Three years later, the federal PHE will officially expire on May 11, 2023. Hospice agencies must resume pre-pandemic compliance conditions of practice. This timely webinar will serve as a review of the CMS Hospice Conditions of Participation and the flexibilities allowed during the PHE. It will clarify what your agency will be held responsible for from a compliance perspective and the timelines you must meet to achieve full compliance. Nursing requirements, competency skills, volunteer programs, telehealth, annual training programs, and aide education and supervision will be covered. The presenter will also address frequently asked questions surrounding this hot topic. This presentation will serve as a crib notes summary of the Conditions to prepare your agency after three long years of waivers.

• Identify which PHE waivers will end on May 11, 2023
