Part 1: CMS Ruling – What It Means for Home Healthcare
CMS Finalizes New Medicare and Medicaid Home Health Care Rules
More change is coming to the ever-dynamic world of home health care. With recently issued Home Health Conditions of Participation (CoP) from the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), agencies and providers must confront new compliance standards while continuing to deliver uncompromised care. The final ruling (CMS-3819-F) outlines a series of guidelines intended to improve overall quality of care and reinforce patients’ rights, but it also spells opportunity for home health agencies and practitioners.

New Requirement: Written Care Plans and Instructions for Patient
One significant detail in the language of the ruling is that CMS requires caregivers to provide patients with written care plans detailing important information—from medication lists, educational materials, and drug interaction forms to consent forms, physical therapy instructions, and more. Today’s simple, easy-to-use mobile technologies offer a number of benefits to agencies and practitioners who want to spend less time on paperwork and more time on dedicated patient care.
