Hospice Conditions of Participation (COPs): Organization and Administration of Services

Course overview

The Conditions of Participation (CoPs) are a set of federal regulations established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that govern hospice programs to ensure consistent quality and compliance with providers across the country. These regulations set the standards for hospice operations and cover various aspects of care provision. This course covers the CoP for the hospice organization and administration of services, which includes standards for the governing body, administrator, multiple hospice locations, training, and more. The goal of this course is to provide the hospice team with an overview of the organization and administration of services, which is one CoP for the organizational environment.
