The purpose of this release is to inform local social services districts
of amendments to Section 763.5 of Title 10, NYCRR [Department of Health (DOH) regulations]. The revised DOH regulations clarify the criteria to be used by certified home health agencies (CHHAs) in making admission
and discharge decisions when the health and safety of patients or the
safety of agency staff are in question. In addition, a DOH Memorandum
(DOHM 93-3) has been issued to further clarify these regulatory changes. Copies of both the regulations and the DOHM are attached to this release.
