    Abstract: A post-acute-care/home-care-options compliance table for post-acute-care patients about to be discharged helps keep hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFE's), and communities in compliance by recording the circumstances, how, and who referred and selected which home care company. Each specific referral source can be recorded as coming from a case manager, social worker, discharge planner, director of assisted living, sales director, executive director, administrator, etc. Archiving such data assists in keeping each referral source in compliance with Medicare, and helps avoid an unintentional violation of the Stark Law. Post-acute-care patients have in their hands an objective and consistent view into all their available home care options, therefore keeping the referral sources themselves clear of many common compliance violations.
