Proactive Preparation for Hospice Oversight 

The frequency and types of audits hospice agencies are subjected to has grown in the past several years. It’s not a question of if, but when you receive an audit, so it pays to be prepared. Below are a few tips from VIA Health Partners.

  • Know the players, identify which surveyors you are likely to hear from based off the contractors serving your area and make sure the appropriate team members know these players as well.
  • Put processes in place to make sure communication from one of these players is communicated immediately so you can put together an action plan quickly.
  • Mitigate audit risks by reducing the potential for documentation areas
  • Develop automated workflows ensure important details down fall through the cracks

Plan for Continuous Improvement

Compliance rules and audit/survey processes will continue to change, so a set-it-and-forget-it approach may end up doing more harm than good. Build an annual workflow analysis project into your organization’s yearly calendar to make sure your processes are updated to align with the latest compliance rules and also look for areas where you can create documentation and workflow efficiencies.
