Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act of 2014 mandates that all Medicare certified hospices be surveyed every three (3) years. Are you ready?

Professional organizations and consultants have tools you can use to prepare, but if you don't have access to those - use the Hospice State Operations Manual, Appendix M - Guidance to Surveyors.

You can access it here: http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/som107ap_m_hospice.pdf or just Google it "hospice state operations manual appendix m".
