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.
