Preparing for survey in the COVID-19 era: A comprehensive checklist for hospice providers
Standard hospice surveys take place once every three years and evaluate the agency’s performance, including its effect on patients. Surveyors focus on each of the hospice Conditions of Participation (CoPs) through interviews, home visits, record reviews, and observations.
The COVID-19 public health emergency has resulted in several regulatory requirements being paused or modified through 1135 waivers, while others, like infection control and emergency preparedness, have been intensified. As a result, standard surveys are likely to look different when they return. Our new survey preparation checklist will help you get ready.
In this checklist, Catherine Dehlin, RN, BSN, CHPN, CHCM, COQS, draws on her extensive experience to provide direction and insight on preparing for home health surveys amid the public health emergency.
