CAHSAH Town Hall: Emergency Hospice Regulations—Key Changes, Provider Impact & Public Comment Strategy

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has released proposed emergency hospice regulations that could significantly impact hospice operations, compliance requirements, program integrity standards, ownership disclosures, personnel qualifications, and ongoing regulatory oversight.

Join CAHSAH for this members-only Town Hall as we review the proposed regulations, discuss key provisions, and identify potential operational, clinical, and administrative implications for hospice providers. CAHSAH staff will provide an overview of the proposed changes, highlight areas of concern and opportunity, and answer questions from participants.

Given the limited public comment period, this session will also serve as a collaborative forum for providers to share feedback, discuss implementation challenges, and help shape recommendations for submission to CDPH. Member input gathered during this Town Hall will help inform CAHSAH's advocacy efforts and formal comments on behalf of the hospice community.

Whether you are an administrator, clinical leader, compliance professional, owner, or executive, this discussion will provide valuable insight into the proposed regulations and an opportunity to ensure your voice is represented during this critical rulemaking process.

Topics will include:

  • Overview of the proposed emergency hospice regulations
  • Program integrity and ownership requirements
  • Identity proofing and licensing provisions
  • Continuing education requirements
  • Operational and compliance considerations
  • Potential impacts on providers and patients
  • Public comment opportunities and strategies
  • Development of recommendations and feedback for CDPH

This webinar is exclusively available to CAHSAH members.
