Conducting a Program Evaluation in an RHC with Angie Charlet sponsored by North American Healthcare

In this webinar, Angie Charlet from Canopy Associates and Mark Lynn from Healthcare Business Specialists with go over the Program Evaluation Requirement for RHCs. This evaluation is required every two years as a condition of participating in the rural health clinic program. We are finding that as the states are beginning to ramp back up their onsite resurveys, many RHCs are receiving condition level deficiencies which could lead to termination of the clinics from the RHC program. Program Evaluation along with Emergency Preparedness makes up nine (9) of the twenty (20) most cited deficiencies in RHCs for 2021 with 6.6% of RHCs being cited for not completing the program evaluation. These are serious deficiencies and take time to correct. The short time frames for developing an acceptable plan of correction (10 days) and implementing the plan of correction (either 30 or 45 days) can create significant stress on an RHC especially as we are still in the midst of a pandemic. This webinar explains the requirements and what you can do to get your clinic in compliance and survey ready regarding the Program Evaluation requirement.
