CMTE D Advancing Hospice Music Therapy Documentation: Regulations, Guidelines, & You
(Event: 2017 AMTA Conference - A Mindful Approach to Music Therapy)

Nov 16, 2017 07:30 am - Nov 16, 2017 12:30 pm
Session Type: CMTE Course
Track: .

Description

Professional hospice music therapists know the basics of quality clinical documentation, but may not fully understand which agencies regulate hospices, the specifics of these regulations, and the details of hospice Medicare eligibility requirements for each diagnosis. This knowledge is critical to help avoid loss of music therapy jobs and hospice agency closures. Advanced knowledge regarding hospice regulators, eligibility requirements for all diagnoses (LCD guidelines), and specific documentation requirements will be shared. 5 CMTE credits available.

Pre-requisite – participants will be required to view a 15-20 minute video prior to the beginning of the session.  A link to the video will be emailed after registration and before the conference begins.

Learner Objectives:

1) Gain awareness of current hospice regulators, their roles, what they review, and how music therapy documentation is affected (CBMT Domains III. A. 6; IV.B. 9, 10, 13, 18).

2) Understand factors and guidelines related to accurately documenting music therapy outcomes within the context of disease process related decline for specific diagnoses (CBMT Domains I. C. 2; III. A. 3, 6, 7; IV. B. 1, 18).

3) State other important factors including and related to treatment planning and care plan updates for hospice patients. (CBMT Domains 1. D. 3, 17.; III. B. 4, 5)
