MEDICARE AND MINNESOTA STATE MOCK SURVEYS

A perfect addition to your Quality Improvement Program. With the intense scrutiny of home care providers, it is more critical than ever that providers regularly conduct internal monitoring for compliance. Contact Acorn's End to conduct an on-site survey for you, or do it yourself by purchasing the comprehensive mock survey tools. The tools are designed using Minnesota State licensure regulations and Medicare Conditions of Participation. Duplication is avoided with the cross-reference table between State and Federal surveys for equivalent requirements for Medicare Certified providers.

Also available - a concise audit tool designed for use as a focused quarterly audit, including OASIS compliance items. Click here to view and print an order form.

HOME CARE CONSULTING
Because of the fast-paced work climate and the need for staff to do more, better, faster, with fewer for less, it is imperative that companies maximize efficiency both in structure and in process. It is also critical that staff remains up to date with the ever-changing events in home care. Home care has seen more significant changes in the past 3 years than has ever been seen before.

With over 17 years experience in home care management including that of Chief Executive Officer for a multi-location company, Patricia Jump is keenly aware of the complex issues involved in home care. Having actively participated in change implementation, organizational restructuring, company downsizing, and initiation of new programs, Ms Jump can assist your organization in becoming a home care industry LEADER

RETREAT FACILITION
Research shows that employee commitment, retention, and productivity improve when companies take a "balanced" workplace approach through the use of retreats. As an experienced retreat facilitator, Patricia Jump will work with your organization to plan and conduct an exciting, fun and productive retreat.

OASIS TRAINING & IMPLEMENTATION
Medicare-certified home care agencies are required to complete comprehensive patient assessments using the OASIS data set. Adequate training and precise implementation of the OASIS requirements may make a difference in thousands of dollars in Medicare reimbursement. Additionally, maximizing training and implementation opportunities will improve outcomes of care, increase the amount and quality of information for critical decision-making, and enhance patient satisfaction. Medicare surveyors have promised a review of providers audit practices. Enhance your Quality Review practice with the OASIS Focused Audit Form available from Acorn's End. As a certified OASIS trainer, Patricia Jump will provide comprehensive OASIS training and implementation strategies.
