Wednesday, September 2  •  11:15 AM–12:15 PM Lead with Purpose: Transforming Home Care Through Intentional Leadership (Session 1a) Home health documentation has never been under more scrutiny. Six states now operate under the Review Choice Demonstration, ADR volumes from Palmetto GBA TPE rounds remain elevated, Noridian SMRC project reviews continue to expand, and UPIC investigations carry broader authority than ever. Across every one of these programs, reviewers ask the same question: does the record support what was billed? This session illuminates exactly what reviewers look for — and exactly where agencies most often fall short. We will spend dedicated time on the Review Choice Demonstration, including Palmetto GBA's four-question framework for establishing medical necessity, the documentation bundle required for Pre-Claim Review affirmation, and the most common non-affirmation reasons paired with specific documentation fixes. We will then walk through the anatomy of a typical denial, the four most common documentation disconnects between OASIS, the 485, visit notes, and the face-to-face encounter, high-risk OASIS items, the Golden Thread that ties assessment to justification, and the building blocks of a defensible record — including pre-bill QA, education that actually changes clinician behavior, and AI-assisted audit tools. Through case studies, real denial reason codes, and side-by-side documentation comparisons, attendees will leave with concrete, applicable techniques they can implement at their agency on Monday morning. Continuing Education: 1.0 clock hours continuing education for Administrators/Alternates; 1.0 contact hour Continuing Nursing Education (CNE); 1.0 clock hour Continuing Education for Social Workers (SW) Target Audience: Medicare   Thursday, September 3  •  11:15 AM–12:15 PM Lead with Purpose: Transforming Home Care Through Intentional Leadership (Session 4d) “Lead With Purpose: Transforming Home Care Through Intentional Leadership” is a session built for every level of a home care or hospice agency — from executives and clinical managers to field nurses, home health aides, and coding and office staff. The session opens by confronting a hard truth: leadership is not a title, it is a behavior, and it shows up — or fails to show up — in the most consequential moments of patient care. Through a powerful opening story about a home health aide who hesitated to escalate a patient concern because her questions had been dismissed the week before, attendees quickly see that leadership decisions ripple directly into clinical outcomes, quality scores, and regulatory risk. The session then introduces the CARE Framework — four pillars of intentional leadership (Clarity, Accountability, Resilience, and Empathy) — and walks through how each pillar is practiced differently at every role in the agency, from the bedside to the billing office. A dedicated segment connects leadership culture directly to CMS-measured performance, showing that OASIS accuracy, HHCAHPS scores, rehospitalization rates, and staff turnover are all downstream of how leaders behave day to day. The session closes with an honest conversation about burnout, six practical sustainability tools leaders can implement immediately, and five specific Monday morning commitments that every attendee — regardless of title — can take back to their team. The goal is not inspiration for its own sake, but a room full of people who leave with something real, something named, and someone in mind. Continuing Education: 1.0 clock hours continuing education for Administrators/Alternates; 1.0 contact hours Continuing Nursing Education (CNE); 1.0 clock hour Continuing Education for Social Workers (SW) Target Audience: Medicare, Hospice, Community Care, All HCSSAs, AI/Tech, Leadership
