The Hawaii Home Health Service Provider Policy Manual establishes a comprehensive framework for delivering skilled and non-skilled home health services to individuals in compliance with state and federal regulations. This manual aligns with the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) §321-11, Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver program requirements, Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484), and Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) licensing standards to ensure full regulatory compliance and high-quality care. It serves as a critical resource for providers offering medical and supportive services to clients in their homes.
Key components of the manual include:
  • Licensing and Certification: Guidance on obtaining and maintaining licensure from the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) and certification under Medicaid and Medicare programs, including compliance with federal Conditions of Participation.
  • Service Delivery Standards: Protocols for delivering skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, medical social services, home health aide support, and other services tailored to meet client needs.
  • Individualized Care Plans: Requirements for developing personalized care plans based on physician orders, client assessments, and interdisciplinary team collaboration, with regular updates to reflect changes in client conditions.
  • Client Rights and Advocacy: Policies ensuring client rights are upheld, including informed consent, confidentiality, equitable access to services, and respect for cultural preferences in care delivery.
  • Infection Control: Comprehensive protocols for preventing and managing infections in home settings, including adherence to CDC guidelines.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Procedures for addressing emergencies or disasters that may affect clients or staff during the provision of home health services.
  • Staffing Requirements: Standards for employing licensed professionals such as registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), therapists, social workers, and certified home health aides trained in safety protocols and client-centered care.
  • Quality Assurance and Monitoring: Processes for evaluating service effectiveness through performance reviews, client feedback, outcome tracking, compliance audits, and continuous quality improvement initiatives.
  • Coordination of Care: Guidelines for integrating home health services with other healthcare providers, community resources, or long-term care supports to ensure holistic care.
This manual also addresses operational aspects such as documentation requirements, billing and reimbursement processes under Medicaid and Medicare programs, staff training on best practices in home health care delivery, and adherence to state and federal accessibility standards. It serves as an essential resource for Hawaii home health service providers to deliver high-quality care that promotes client recovery, independence, and improved quality of life in the comfort of their homes.
