Title: Home Health Agency (HHA) Conditions of Participation (HCFA-3819-F) | |
Abstract: This final rule will revise home health agency conditions of participation to center on the patient, using outcome-oriented measures. Most of the current HHA conditions of participation have remained unchanged since home health services became a Medicare benefit in 1966. Some limited modifications have been made over the years to comply with legislative changes. As a result, most of the conditions of participation continue to be structure and process oriented. In addition, this final rule will require that HHAs use a standard core assessment data set, the "Outcome and Assessment Information Set" (OASIS), when evaluating adult, non-maternity patients receiving home health care. | |
