ANNUAL CONTINUING EDUCATION
Continuing Education is perfect for a (1) designated Administrator or Alternate who must comply with TAC §558.260, and (2) a prior administrator or alternate not currently designated but maintaining compliance with TAC §558.260, and (3) anyone who wants to improve their knowledge on a broad range of topics specific to TX HCSSAs.

§97.259[d][7]abuse, neglect, and exploitation
§97.259[d][4]agency responsibilities
§97.260[a][6]risk assessment and management
Program Description: For the last several years, the failure to timely
report allegations of ANE to the appropriate authorities ranks in the top 10 licensure violations for home health
and hospice providers. For home health (including skilled care and PAS), it has been the third most commonly cited
violation coming in behind management responsibilities of both the supervising nurse and the administrator. Usually
one or both of those is cited along with the failure to timely report. Almost without exception, there are penalties
assessed with each failure to timely report. At times, the failure will result in license revocation. More times
than not the failure to report is due to agency staff misunderstanding this obligation or misunderstanding what
constitutes an allegation of ANE.
By examining these common misunderstandings and mistakes you will learn practical steps
to avoid them. From the intake of the complaint to the closing of the investigation, this program addresses
the processes needed to maintain compliance with Texas regulations.
Program Learning Outcome:
Participants will actively engage in the discussion and incorporate best practices for identifying and reporting
abuse, neglect, and exploitation into their clinical practice.

§558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities
§558.259[d][7]abuse, neglect, and exploitation
§558.260[a][2]development and interpretation of agency policies
Program Description:The failure to timely report A&E to the Department of Family and Protective Services a
nd to DADS remain one of the higher range license violations among home and community care service agencies in Texas. There are several reasons for this.
First, many times management staff have the misunderstanding that they must make a judgment call as to whether or not an allegation has been made.
Second, middle management staff and delivery staff usually fail to understand how to dignify an allegation estimate.
This presentation examines final orders from the Texas Health and Human Services commission dealing with allegations of
abuse, neglect and exploitation. By examining these cases, as opposed to discussing a hypothetical story, the viewer will gain a better
understanding of what goes wrong when an allegation of abuse, neglect and exploitation is not timely reported to the authorities.
Program Learning Outcome:
Participants will actively engage in the discussion and incorporate best practices for identifying and reporting abuse, neglect, and exploitation into their clinical practice.
TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter: Troy Brooks, JD

Faculty: Angie Parks, United Healthcare; Robert Wells and Ceseley Rollins, Superior Health Plan; Kelley Longhofer, Community First
Program Description: Texas Medicaid payors are beginning to look at new payment models called “Value-Based Payments (VBP)
and/or Value Based Contracting (VBC).” The idea behind the new models is for payors to work with providers to ensure delivery of high quality and cost-effective care to their members.
TAHC&H brings you three (3) Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to present a panel discussion about steps a provider might want to take for structuring a VBP/VBC with a payor.
Providers will also learn how these (3) Texas MCOs are currently rolling-out VBP/VBC. They will spend time discussing the process they implement with providers and elements
needed to create VBP/VBC. Implementing a program in collaboration with your MCO could earn your organization rewards for quality services and care. Understanding how your data is
involved as well as other reporting requirements is critical to your success, so don’t miss this opportunity to be ahead of the curve rather than behind it!

Presentation Date | February 24, 2022
Program Description: Under the Final Rule policies, CMS will assess achievement or improvement of performance based on
designated quality measures and home health providers will compete nationally in their applicable size cohort, smaller-volume providers or larger-volume providers.
Financial Success starts with clinical and operational best practices. In order to ensure that agencies do not incur a negative revenue adjustment, CMS has granted
a one-year pre-implementation phase for Value Based Purchasing. Organizations should use this year to focus on quality value-based performance metrics that will
ensure success under the new revenue adjustment model. Having a quality plan that addresses both outcome and process measures as well as patient satisfaction is
the foundation to success under VBP. This presentation is a must for all areas of home health to include financial managers, clinical staff and operational leaders
as they learn the value of collaboration and team metrics while exploring the details of Value Based Purchasing. Participants will walk away with a foundational
knowledge of VBP and practical solutions to implement in their organizations.
