Program Description: Many organizations and leaders suffer from a lack of alignment and a healthy team. Accountability seems difficult.
Clear directions are misinterpreted. Everyone works harder but doesn’t seem to really be in sync. If this sounds familiar, guess what, you’re normal.
Many leaders and organizations have struggled with these challenges. But they found a path and a solution.
Does your flywheel drive strategic direction, decisions, and priorities?
Are all your “people” issues solved?
Do your employees really care about the business?
Does everyone really fight for the greater good?
If you answered “not really” to any of these questions, you’re not alone. It is time to up your game and your company’s results.
As thousands of business leaders have discovered, the key to continued growth, better outcomes, bigger profits, and fewer frustrations is here: managing your business so it does not manage you.

Program Description: Big changes are coming to VBP, and understanding the shift is crucial for your agency’s success.
This session dives into a side-by-side comparison of today’s measures versus the new ones coming in 2025 and reveals how you can maximize your Total Performance Score (TPS).
Did you know that three new measures will make up 55% of your TPS? The Discharge Function (DCF) score, based on GG items, is replacing the TNC and
increasing its impact from 17.5% to 20%, while the new Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH) will claim a huge 26% share of your score. Plus, Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH)
and ED Use are being dropped from Star Ratings, and the new Discharge to Community (DTC) measure, worth 9%, will track readmissions for up to 31 days after discharge from home health.
This session is packed with insights on what your agency should prioritize right now to stay competitive. Lisa breaks down actionable strategies to help you
boost performance on these new measures, reduce hospitalizations, and prepare your team for success in the next phase of VBP.

Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.
