The OIG's focus on hospice care in the nursing home not only continues but it seems to be picking up more steam as it goes along. It is reported that by 2020, 40% of those over 65 are projected to die in nursing homes and hospice care is an important part of helping ensure quality end-of-life care to those residents. The session explores the risk areas, reviews OIG study results, explores actions to improve compliance and more.
