The Rhode Island Home Health Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering skilled home health care services to individuals with medical needs across the lifespan in Rhode Island. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), including applicable sections of the Rhode Island Medicaid Program and federal Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484) for certified home health agencies. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensing and certification, patient eligibility and referral processes, comprehensive assessments, individualized care planning, skilled nursing care, rehabilitation therapies (physical, occupational, and speech), home health aide services, medical social work, medication management, infection control, emergency preparedness, staff qualifications and training, patient rights and protections, incident reporting, documentation and billing, and performance improvement initiatives. It supports evidence-based, person-centered care delivered in the home environment, promoting recovery, chronic disease management, and quality of life. This manual serves as a foundational resource for home health agencies in Rhode Island, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that empower individuals to receive safe, effective care while maintaining independence in their homes and communities.
