Compliance Framework
Can you outsource your RN assessments to a third party?
Yes.
10 NYCRR 766.10(a)
“The governing authority or operator may enter into contracts with individuals, organizations, agencies and facilities when necessary, to obtain or provide patient care services.”
New York State explicitly permits your LHCSA to contract with another licensed entity -like Task Health -to perform patient care services, including Start-of-Care assessments and reassessments. Below is the complete compliance framework that governs this arrangement.
Task Health operates under LHCSA License #1179L001

Your compliance checklist
While Task Health handles execution, 10 NYCRR 766.10(d) is clear: your agency retains full responsibility. Here’s what you need to maintain:
- Signed Under-Arrangement contract on file
- DPS review and approval of each assessment and Plan of Care
- Verification that visit documentation is integrated into patient’s clinical record
- Open communication channel with Task Health clinical coordinator
- Process for acting on emergent findings reported by RN
- Credential verification records accessible if DOH requests
- Physician signature obtained on Plan of Care per 766.4
