Excuses for infrequent posting

Posted by: Robert Markette
March 23, 2006

One of the reasons I have not posted as frequently the last two weeks is the new HHABN from CMS. In the last two weeks I have been working on an article for a trade association publication and a presentation regarding when to issue the new HHABN and which of the new forms to use. Needless to say, both were rather time sensitive.

I flew up to Milwaukee to record a presentation on the new HHABN for the Home Care Information Network or HCIN. (For those of you who know me personally, you know that I love to travel, especially when it involves a trip to the airport.)

HCIN is a company started up by Tom Williams and provides on-demand video training. You can get to their website by clicking here. (Yes, you can see my smiling face and not just hear my voice. Which hopefully makes the whole prospect of HHABN training less painful, or at least not more painful.)

I spent Friday morning with Tom and Trish Tullock from RBC Limited recording the seminar. Trish was my co-presenter and discussed the clinical aspects of the new HHABN and offered some implementation advice. As you probably guessed I talked about the legal side of the HHABN including a little background on what has led to the change.

Needless to say, the three of us had a pretty good time recording the seminar. Although whenever you tape a seminar or do a telephone seminar, the lack of audience feedback is noticeable. I had the chance to eat at one of Miwaukee’s local brew houses had an uneventful trip back home. With that behind me, I hope to return to a slightly more consistent schedule of posting.

Of course, if I don’t I will just blame my children.
