The South Dakota Home Health Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering skilled home health care services to individuals with medical, rehabilitative, or chronic care needs across South Dakota. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the South Dakota Department of Health (DOH), the South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It ensures compliance with state licensure requirements, Medicaid guidelines, and Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484). The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensing and certification, patient eligibility and referral, comprehensive assessments, individualized care planning, skilled nursing services, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, medical social work, home health aide services, medication management, infection control, staff qualifications and training, patient rights and protections, emergency preparedness, incident reporting, documentation and billing, and quality assurance. It emphasizes the delivery of coordinated, patient-centered care that supports recovery, chronic condition management, and long-term well-being in the least restrictive environment—home. This manual serves as a foundational resource for home health agencies in South Dakota, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and compassionate care that enables individuals to maintain independence and improve health outcomes within their own homes.
