Requires the home health agency's governing body to designate a day-to-day manager, conduct an annual documented review of policies, budget, program evaluation and emergency preparedness, keep signed meeting minutes, receive required notifications (leadership departures, survey violations), acknowledge QAPI results, and maintain an organizational chart. Fills the framework gap for licensing/governance.
