Description

As we begin to gradually emerge from the throes of a global pandemic, home care providers will begin to resume business as usual, and so will surveyors. But will it really be business as usual? As survey activity ramps back up, Medicare-certified providers may find themselves wondering what surveys will look like in a post-COVID world. The speakers will expound on part one of this two-part program with a more detailed look at how survey activities and focus might change as a result of the pandemic. Don’t get caught off guard! Register now for this informative presentation so that you may begin planning now and position your agency for success when it is time for your next survey.
