2009 Home Care Standards, Elements of Performance, and Service Applicability Grids (8/31/2009)

Inaccurate service applicability grids were included in the 2009 Update 1 for the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Home Care (CAMHC), which published in June. The following shows the accurate service applicability for all 2009 home care standards and elements of performance. Please note that the inaccurate service applicability grids appeared only in the hard-copy Update 1 to the 2009 CAMHC. The Periodic Performance Review, E-dition, AMP (Accreditation Manager Plus), and surveyor laptops were NOT affected and have always contained the accurate applicability information. The posted home care standards, elements of performance, and applicability grids are in effect through December 31, 2009.
