During his second term, President Donald Trump has made healthcare fraud a top priority. The President signed an Executive Order titled “Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud”. The purpose is to seek out fraud thereby helping to protect taxpayer dollars from government waste and lower healthcare costs. This requires a systems approach, federal and state agencies speaking and working with each other in this endeavor.

Today the Department of Justice announced 455 defendants have been charged with healthcare fraud over the past two weeks as part of a multi-agency, nationwide crackdown. Located in 45 states and U.S. territories, the defendants participated in fraud schemes involving $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs, Blanche said.

Hi Everyone,

I am sure you are all trying to coordinate work with holiday and family activities. It is certainly one of the busiest times for health care providers. I wanted to tell you about the conference I attended two weeks ago- The National Healthcare Coalition Preparedness Conference. This conference is held the same time every year, right after Thanksgiving. And yes, that can be a pain sometimes. Every year I go through the same process:  I say to myself “ I don’t want to travel right after a holiday” and yet every year, I go. And always, the conference continues to be amazing. Coalitions, government entities and health care providers engage in the most fascinating exchanges of ideas and experiences in the world of disasters and disaster preparedness.

This year in particular, the home care and hospice industry was front and center in many discussions. Our industry role is significant especially when it comes to surge capacity and communicable diseases, so collaboration amongst all providers is desperately needed. However, it is still difficult for others in the arena of disaster preparedness to understand what we do, how we do it and how to partner with us.

And you all know my position: I always want home care and hospice to be included everywhere and in everything. On the plane back from New Orleans, I started to wonder if any home care/hospice people would be interested in attending the conference next year in Houston. I will be there and would like input from all of you on having a home care brainstorming and discussion group, perhaps  a special interest group meeting. The enormous value of this conference is the variety of providers. I sometimes feel that only attending conferences designed specifically for home care and hospice narrows our vision.

Please reach out to me and let me know what areas of disaster preparedness you find particularly challenging and let me know if you think you might be interested in attending the conference in Houston 2019.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful healthy holiday!

One in eight (1/8) women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.  To commemorate October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to publish some resources that can explain the disease more, as well as encourage women to get screened regularly (based on recommendations).
