#3: Review of the Plan of Care: 42 CFR 418.56(d), TAG 0552

Summary

The hospice interdisciplinary group (in collaboration with the individual's attending physician, if any) must review, revise, and document the individualized plan as frequently as the patient's condition requires, but no less frequently than every 15 calendar days.

Example

The hospice IDG failed to revise and document the changes in the plan of care, for 3 of 6 patients, when clinical records documentation identified changes had occurred in the patient's condition within 15 calendar days.
