Program Description:"Managers tend to blame their turnover problems on everything under the sun, while ignoring the crux of the
matter: people don't leave jobs; they leave managers”. Travis Bradberry
Burnout for C-suite executives presents unique challenges. The two programs in this specially-priced package explore how burnout specifically manifests in the C-suite,
considering factors like high-stakes decision-making and the struggle to balance personal and professional life. Participants are taught how to recognize
early signs of burnout, both in themselves, their peers and employees.
Specific practical strategies for managing stress and workload, such as effective time management, delegation, and goal setting are reviewed.
These programs also emphasize developing a resilient mindset and enhancing emotional intelligence, which are crucial for coping with pressures and setbacks.
A supportive culture within the workplace is essential. This includes fostering a culture that prioritizes mental well-being and encourages
open communication. The role of the C-suite employee in leading by example is essential. All these topics were reviewed in an interactive fun environment at TAHCH's Winter Conference and are now available online to
help you meet the challenges of burn out in your workplace and your own life.

Program Description: Volume to Value (V2V) reforms have rewired the Home Health model in terms of care
development and delivery since the introduction of PDGM. Along these lines, Value-based Purchasing was installed for Home Health,
connecting payment levels to outcomes for the first time in our industry. A review of the requirements for the VBP bonus reveals
outcomes rarely seen to date in HHCAPS, Readmission, Timeliness, and Clinical Outcomes. In addition, HH Readmissions must be in the
single-digits if a Provider hopes to qualify for the VBP bonus, and most Providers post readmit levels in the mid-teens. Case
studies will outline how to start on the path to single-digit readmissions in your agency.

Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | 55th Annual Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | September 10, 2024
Program Description: This training program addresses the unique therapeutic paths that children with
chronic or progressive conditions may demonstrate and will offer a lens through which we can view and analyze along the way. Context and
perspective are key when selecting assessment tools and interpreting findings, as well as when making decisions around medical necessity,
dosage, and interventions. Routines and priorities unique to the individual child/family are particularly important for children with chronic
or progressive conditions, given their complexity, and best practice for gathering and utilizing this vital information is addressed.
Additionally, perspective and language around goal development and collaboration with caregivers is explored. There are times in the
life of a child with a chronic or progressive condition where strategic use of the Maintenance Level / Prevent Deterioration frequency/dosage
level (as outlined in the TMPPM), may be most appropriate. This training program also describes the benefits of this dosage level, and
how it can be utilized most effectively.

Dr. Parkey practiced rural medicine in Henrietta, Texas for 17 years, but found a special love for the care of the elderly,

of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care, the American Geriatrics Society, the American Society for

(a Registered Nurse who helps him run his private practice and who serves in a number of volunteer capacities in the area) and their three
daughters. His hobbies include fishing and literature, and he is a member of the Wichita Falls Poetry Society, the Texas Poetry Society, and

VBID – Hospice 2024 Update
[3843] VBID – Hospice 2024 Update
Details of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model – Hospice Benefit Component.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Fort Worth | Rich-Media Presentation Capture for Your Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 22, 2024
Presentation Track | Medicare Hospice
Program Description: This program covers the details of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model – Hospice Benefit Component.
Medicare Advantage (MA) has long had coverage for home health patients, but there has never been coverage for Hospice under the MA benefit until 2021 when the VBID demonstration began to include Hospice.
There have been many changes to the Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAO) participating in 2024 as the demonstration has now been extended through 2030.
The differences in coverage for an in-network vs. out-of-network provider will be reviewed and the allowance of MAO plans to force patients to elect IN-NETWORK ONLY.
CMS requires that MAOs provide beneficiaries with broad access to the complete original Medicare hospice benefit. This program covers all known aspects of the demonstration and will
prepare hospices for the reality that Medicare Advantage is now in the Hospice world to stay.

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.

Program Description: Part of your Total Performance Score (TPS) is based on OASIS outcomes. Currently it is based on two composite scores for self-care and
mobility (the TNC) along with improvement in dyspnea and oral medication management and discharged to community. This program takes a good look into the stand-alone OASIS items and describes how the TNC is calculated.
It also discusses the future changes to the TPS with the omission of the TNC from the TPS altogether. The TNC is currently 17.5% of the Total Performance Score of VBP, but CMS is implementing drastic changes by
omitting the TNC from its programs and replacing it with the Discharge Function score. Learn the impact of the changes and how your strategies should have a new focus in 2024.
