These are evidence-backed candidate services beyond the public GUIDE minimum. They are not represented as CMS GUIDE requirements. The purpose of this file is to describe the literal work, the useful Proxi contribution, and the person who retains each human or clinical responsibility.
Some steps resemble work that GUIDE already requires at a defined occasion, such as fall-risk assessment during the comprehensive assessment, medication reconciliation, caregiver training, or transition support. In this file, the row means the additional frequency, depth, personalization, or closed-loop follow-through supplied by the enhanced service. The required baseline occurrence remains classified in its applicable eight-service SOP and is not being relabeled as optional.
