Assisting your Decision-Making regarding Home Care Package Expenditure and Excluded Items
Assisting your Decision-Making regarding Home Care Package Expenditure and Excluded Items
Workshop overview
Interpreting legislation can be challenging, as guidelines require providers to make informed decisions for a person-centred approach to care provision of older people. While the rules have not changed, the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission is strengthening its focus on grey areas of expenditure.
This interactive workshop explores the Inclusions & Exclusions Framework, unpacks examples across the domains, and offers a question and answer (Q&A) session addressing specific questions.
This workshop is limited to 25 participants, to support greater exploration and discussion around inclusions & exclusions.
Who should attend?
Home care managers, case managers and consumers.
The outcomes are:
- understand the intent of the Home Care Package program and the Quality of Care principles
- identify the types of care and support services that should be included in a care plan
- learn why needs assessments and care goals are important to preparing a home care budget
- recognise the rules that prohibit excluded items from being purchased and why
- discover a tool that can assist you to assess and validate purchase decisions
