In addition, new guidelines for F309 which went into effect March 31, 2009 provide clarification in this relationship. This impacts how you obtain orders, pain management strategies and how you create a collaborative care plan for the resident. This workshop will examine these changes and help the Nursing Home Administrator understand what needs to change in their processes to meet the new Hospice guidelines and the clarification of F309.
