Designed to provide the education needed to thrive in today’s complex healthcare landscape.
This program builds on the Hospice Quality Certificate Program and covers the basics of healthcare compliance, including developing a compliance program, compliance risk assessment, compliance policies and procedures, and anonymous reporting. The importance of the Stark law, the Yates memo, anti-kickback statutes, and inducements for referrals and incentives for marketing will also be addressed. It is critical to also look at hospice-specific topics to apply in your program, including conducting an internal audit, looking at organizational ethics related to compliance, and audit scrutiny. This course promises to be just what professionals in hospice compliance are looking for – hospice specific and applicable to the real world.
This certificate program is a companion to the Hospice Quality Certificate Program. Participants should have completed that certificate program before proceeding with this one. If you would like to retake the 7 modules which are duplicated in both courses, please contact conferences@nhpco.org to be transferred and pay for the full course.
This is a certificate based program and not a certification.
