Action:
Amend Regulation Following Periodic Review
Action 5455
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Virginia Board of Health recently concluded a periodic review of 12VAC5-391, in which it decided to amend the regulation. Part of the amendments contemplated include a repeal of 12VAC5-391-330(B). This subsection currently requires that a hospice’s medical director have admitting privileges at one or more hospitals or nursing homes that provide inpatient service to the hospice’s patients. This repeal will remove the admitting privileges requirement. A reference to an outdated Personal Care Aide Training Curriculum is also replaced by a new training option for hospice program volunteers. This action will also bring current several out-of-date references and associated Documents Incorporated by Reference in the regulations. |
