Continuing education, clinical competency and life-long learning are important components not only of licensure renewal, but maintenance of a therapist’s clinical skill set. With an ever-increasing demand for competent and capable therapy clinicians, it is important that home health organizations have a defined procedure to ensure that they are employing more than “a warm license.” Establishing a competency assessment and proficiency program will allow an agency to reduce risk associated with denial of therapy services under additional documentation requests (ADRs) and recovery audit contractors (RACs), as well as position themselves for improved publicly reported patient outcomes.
