At The Table With CAHSAH
California Hospice Emergency Regulations #7: The Reporting Mistakes That Trigger Trouble With The State
Hospice leaders cannot afford to guess at California’s new reporting rules. The state is no longer waiting to be notified, and the consequences of missing a trigger event - from a move or leadership change to ownership transitions, licenses, and voluntary closure - can be serious. Mark Wilson is joined by Cindy Hatton, Annette Lee, and Sharon Fredericks, three nationally recognized hospice experts, to break down what changed, what now has to be reported in advance, and who inside your organization should actually own the process. If you are responsible for compliance, operations, quality, or leadership, this conversation gives you the practical roadmap you need before the webinar. You’ll discover: - Why CDPH is tightening oversight and why “we’ll tell them later” is no longer a safe strategy - The reporting changes that require advance notice, including the 120-day requirement for change of ownership - How to build accountability with a clear internal owner, backup coverage, and daily or weekly follow-up - Why license renewals should never be left to the last minute and why the state will not remind you - How exclusion list, OIG, Medicare, and licensure checks can be automated with monthly scrubs and flags - What to know about voluntary license cancellation, including the 60-day written notice requirement and what must be included - How multiple layers of oversight - CDPH, CMS, and accreditors - all have to be kept in the loop
