The Aide's Role in Helping Patients with Parkinson's Disease Teleconference
Speaker: Jan Helsper, RN


Target Audience: Certified Home Health Aides

Parkinson's disease is a disorder that affects nerve cells in a part of the brain that controls muscle movement. As the disease progresses, the patient has trouble walking, talking, chewing, swallowing and performing other tasks that we take for granted. The aide plays a vital role in helping the patient and caregiver manage this devastating disease. This teleconference will allow the in-home aide to understand how the disease progresses and what role they play in assisting with the care of the patient in the home.

How to Get More Referrals from Physicians without Violating the Law
Speaker:
Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.
Health Care Attorney & Consultant
Washington, D.C.

Physicians are still key referral sources. Recent issues confronted by providers include whether it is appropriate to assign a coordinator to physicians who make a lot of referrals. Under what circumstances is this arrangement allowed? What about physicians who write orders for specific providers? Must physicians honor patients' right to freedom of choice of providers? What about giving gifts to physicians and their staff members? Professional associations and state governments are cracking down. What do providers need to know about this trend? Issues related to use of physicians as Medical Directors will also be addressed. This presentation will be helpful to Medicare certified agencies, private duty agencies, hospices, home medical equipment (HME) companies and therapists.

Educational Objectives:
- List three sources of patients; right to freedom of choice of providers.
- Describe two key aspects of the PharMa code.

How to Get More Referrals from Hospitals without Violating the Law
Speaker:
Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.
Health Care Attorney & Consultant
Washington, D.C.

Many providers doubt that they are getting a fair shake from hospitals. Freestanding providers may perceive that hospitals' post acute providers get all the referrals. Providers owned by hospitals may conclude that they are not getting their fair share of referrals. What are hospitals required to do with regard to referrals to post-acute providers? What can providers do to quickly and cost-effectively get more referrals? What about retaliation? Strategies that encourage establishment of positive referral relationships with hospitals will also be discussed. This presentation will be helpful to Medicare certified agencies, private duty agencies, hospices, home medical equipment (HME) companies and therapists.

Educational Objectives:
- Describe what case managers/discharge planners must do when they present lists/choices to patients.
- Identify one limitation on the activities of coordinators/liaisons in hospitals.
