Wednesday, July 13, 2022, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT
Category: Live Webinar

The interdisciplinary team (IDT) is critical in hospice care.

 

However, many agencies struggle with IDT-related questions regarding regulations, compliance, and reimbursement. This webinar will serve as cheat sheet to the frequent asked questions that a hospice consultant regularly encounters to help agencies understand and effectively deploy their own team.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Recognize common documentation compliance challenges and how the IDT can avoid them
  • Define what documentation is needed to support the physician CTI
  • Demonstrate how to effectively update the plan of care during IDT
  • Conduct an effective IDT meeting and clarify who must attend
  • Define how the entire team can support ongoing hospice eligibility, especially during this time of increased Medicare audits
