Test your knowledge questions:

1) How does it work for a therapist to enter and complete a medication review?

2) A patient is transferred to an acute hospital with a return anticipated, the hospital treats the patient and then sends them to a SNF. The patient is referred back to the agency 35 days after the transfer date but before the next recertification was due. Would a ROC be completed or since it was more than 30 days is a SOC completed when the patient returns?

3) What does "survey eligible" patients mean in relation to Home Health Care Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HHCAHPS)?

4) Do the OASIS requirements apply to hospice patients? What if they are receiving 'hospice service' under the home care agency (not the Medicare hospice benefit)? Would OASIS apply?

5) When a nurse visits a patient's home and determines that the patient does not meet the criteria for home care (e.g., not homebound, refuses services, etc.) is the comprehensive assessment required? What about OASIS data collection?

6) Who can perform the comprehensive assessment when the RN and PT are both ordered at SOC?
