Also encourage those around you: your co-workers, your subordinates, and teams. Celebrate your “success” as a leader because it is hard work and requires additional strength and perseverance. Strive to “Achieve” beyond the day-to-day operations business. As leaders, we must also be diverse in thought and deliberate in practice. As leaders, we must push the boundaries to new heights. As leaders, we must also be resilient. To navigate unchartered territory, you will need some tools to ensure progress along the way. Here are 5 Steps to Journey Forward. So, let’s ride the WAVES together…Learn how to: WIDEN your lens - See what you don’t know APPRECIATE others - We can’t go it alone. Engage and involve = inclusion VALUE your Leadership skills- “When you know better, you do better.” Lead like a rock star. ENGAGE in “healthy” dialogue - Get comfortable being uncomfortable and embrace difficult conversations. SUSTAINABILITY practices improve progress - Two factors to explore: Social responsibility and external relationships.

What’s now and what’s new? Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event Administrator Conference | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access Presentation Date | November 8, 2023 Program Description: What’s now and what’s new? The TNC is currently 17.5% of the Total Performance Score of VBP, but CMS is implementing drastic changes. Even though CMS is omitting the TNC from its programs and replacing it with the Discharge Function score, the TNC scores are still important through payment year 2026. Now is the time to ramp up for the first performance year for Discharge Function, so learn what your plan should be for 2024. ACH and ED Use claims data currently comprise 35% of your Total Performance Scores. Even though your ACH and ED Use scores are being jettisoned in favor of the new PPH, the ACH and ED Use will still impact your payment until 2026. New to VBP are the PPH and the Discharged to Community (claims-based) quality measures, which together will comprise 35% and will require some adjustments in your Performance Improvement Programs. PPH will include hospitalizations (both ACH and LTCH) and observation stays. The DTC measure will include readmissions for up to 31 days after discharge. Lisa discusses what actions can be taken now to improve those numbers.

Data Vs. Insights: How Business Intelligence Tools Improve Outcomes & Operational Efficiencies

The rise of business intelligence (BI) is unlocking actionable insights that will dramatically improve home and community care organizations. NOW AVAILABLE: RELEASED 02/27/2020 This program was presented on 2.12.2020 at the Texas Association of Home Care & Winter Conference in Denton. It is one of 18 presentations captured and produced for online access.

HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §558.260[a][5]quality improvement Program Description: The shift to electronic medical records, digital systems, and cloud computing has made capturing and compiling large amounts of data much easier. However, despite having large amounts of data, providers are generally faced with the challenge of not knowing how to leverage the data beyond basic reporting. Moreover, in the home and community care sector in particular, visit, operational information, and clinical data is often stored in paper format -- or if is it digital, resides in siloed databases. These system deficiencies make it near impossible to gain a holistic view of operations and eliminates the ability to “pivot” data. The catalyst for this change is to be obsessed about data-driven decision making. The rise of business intelligence (BI) is unlocking actionable insights that will dramatically improve home and community care organizations. Program Learning Outcome: Participants will be able to cite how to leverage data beyond basic reporting and data driven decision making and describe how these insights could dramatically improve home and community care organizations.
