Tip of the Month
"So What's Required When?"
G
iven the number of new and
changing hospice-related
regulations, it's no easy task
to stay abreast of what your priorities
should be to ensure your organization
remains compliant. To help stay on track,
the NHPCO Regulatory
Team maintains an
online Compliance
Calendar
exclusively for
NHPCO members.
The calendar
appears on the
Compliance
Monitor webpage
of the Regulatory
Center (just scroll
down page).
It is updated regularly to show the
hospice-related regulations and
implementation dates for:
* F
uture requirements now known
(noted in blue)
* P
ending requirements (noted in
yellow)
* T
hose in effect (noted in green).
A copy of the calendar is also available
as a PDF, should you wish to download
a copy for offline access. Just be sure
to check the webpage regularly to
make sure you are working from the
most current edition! The NHPCO
Regulatory Team recommends you do
this each week.
