Home Health reforms continue in terms of programming and reimbursement changes as outlined in the 2026 Final Rule.
Providers seeking success will face new challenges when addressing HHCAHPS and VBP changes, with cuts in reimbursement occurring simultaneously.
The result is a Home Health landscape considerably different from what most of us have worked under during the PPS and early PDGM era.
When traditional operations and programming approaches fail to deliver desired outcomes under PDGM and in areas such as VBP and HHCAHPS,
many Providers find themselves behind the eight-ball in terms of episodic margins. But the Volume-2-Value (V2V) element of PDGM combines with
the Pay-for-Performance (P4P) identity of VBP to outline a clinical path to address Home Health Fiscal margins.
By addressing clinical programming for optimal Outcomes, HH agencies can develop Value-Era efficiencies that result in significant
improvements in Fiscal margins. This progressive presentation includes Case Studies that drill down on the pathway to develop
Clinical programming that produces Improved Fiscal Margins.

Program Description: There are nearly 20 million veterans in the United States and 30% of those veterans have multiple
chronic conditions that may be managed by private duty care. Most veterans and private duty organizations are unaware of the multiple funding sources available to
pay for veterans care. Educating your team on the variety of benefits available to veterans for post-acute care (private duty, home health, and hospice care)
will ensure that your organization is ready to grow your referral sources while providing a niche market to those that have served our country so well. In this presentation
Tammy Ross will speak with retired Air Force Col. Terry Ross about where home care organizations and veterans can find the funding needed to cover care in the home
and will discuss practical considerations for caring for veterans.

Patients are also customers, and their experience impacts the agency. The patient's experience shapes what they tell

and measured, they often struggle when it comes to approaches for improving patient experience ratings.
