[3624] Actionable VBP Business Intelligence Dashboards: Understanding and Taking Action on KPIs That Lead to Success
This presentation is a must for those wishing to streamline their operations and achieve VBP financial success.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Winter Conference 2022 | Dallas | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 24, 2022
Program Description: Information overload describes the excess of information available to a person aiming to complete a task
or make a decision; resulting in a poor decision or no decision being made. This often happens in the fast-paced world of home care operations. Leaders are inundated
from metrics from multiple sources that are often not actionable and not concurrent. This leads to no action and poor outcomes. Understanding the value of KPIs is the
first step to successful outcomes. Developing a business intelligence dashboard that contains the Metrics that Matter in the new world of Value Based Purchasing is the
next and most critical step. Metrics should be easy to understand and lead operators to implement corrective action concurrently. Thus, turning a possible negative
outcome into a positive one. Participants will walk away with an understanding of root cause analysis and multi contributing factors affecting metrics so that they can
apply rapid corrective action measures. This presentation is a must for those wishing to streamline their operations and achieve VBP financial success.

This presentation will change your agency today and tomorrow.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Winter Conference 2022 | Dallas | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 23, 2022
Program Description: Prior to the pandemic, most PDGM education focused on billing or coding aspects of the reform,
with little attention to operational and care delivery requirements. As a result, many HH clinicians don’t understand exactly how PDGM works; the Value-based Operational changes,
and the legacy HH approaches that compromise clinical and fiscal outcomes. With most Providers just returning to a pre-2020 level of care, many of these operational requirements remain un-addressed.
This program addresses areas that directly affect quality care outcomes under PDGM, from both a front-line delivery and in-office managerial aspect. Learn how to hardwire for
tangible results, driving costs down and fiscal margins up, while you improve Star Ratings with single digit readmissions. Learn PDGM Strategies to address case-Mix,
POC development and in-episode control and wound management thru Case Studies and Outcome statistics.
