As regulatory oversight and public reporting has increased, many Homecare Agencies have seen a rise in both professional and general liability claims. An integrated risk management program can reduce the potential for and improve patient reported outcomes. This session will look at common risks associated with providing patient care in the homecare setting such as patient falls, skin integrity, medication diversion, environmental hazards, patient confidentiality and employee dishonesty. Strategies for reducing liability will be explored including development of a code of conduct, measurement of standards using evidence-based practices, staff monitoring and supervision, and establishment of professional boundaries.
