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.

Program Description: Big changes are coming to VBP, and understanding the shift is crucial for your agency’s success.
This session dives into a side-by-side comparison of today’s measures versus the new ones coming in 2025 and reveals how you can maximize your Total Performance Score (TPS).
Did you know that three new measures will make up 55% of your TPS? The Discharge Function (DCF) score, based on GG items, is replacing the TNC and
increasing its impact from 17.5% to 20%, while the new Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH) will claim a huge 26% share of your score. Plus, Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH)
and ED Use are being dropped from Star Ratings, and the new Discharge to Community (DTC) measure, worth 9%, will track readmissions for up to 31 days after discharge from home health.
This session is packed with insights on what your agency should prioritize right now to stay competitive. Lisa breaks down actionable strategies to help you
boost performance on these new measures, reduce hospitalizations, and prepare your team for success in the next phase of VBP.

Program Description:
Major changes are on the horizon for Value-Based Purchasing (VBP), and staying ahead of the curve is essential for your agency?s success.
In this session, Lisa Selman-Holman breaks down the CY2026 Final Rule with a clear, side-by-side comparison of current versus upcoming measures - so you know exactly what's shifting and how to respond.
Discharge Function remains a heavy hitter, still accounting for 15% of the Total Performance Score (TPS), but CMS is reintroducing M1800 items for dressing and bathing - adding complexity and opportunity.
Meanwhile, HHCAHPS is significantly scaled back, and agencies excelling in potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPH) may be surprised by the new direction CMS is taking.
The Discharge to Community (DTC) measure is also gaining weight, increasing from 9% to 15% of the TPS.

The same is true with the subject of cybersecurity. In this session, we will explore the reality of how, for the threat actors and
those impacted by their actions, cybersecurity is blurring those lines once again. We will demystify the complexity of cybersecurity for
organizational leaders and determine to take actionable steps that will lead our organizations to safer, more secure environments for our patients, team members and their families.

§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.

§558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting
Program Description: The Public Health Emergency (PHE) due to the COVID-19 Pandemic lasted much longer than anyone anticipated or desired.
Many regulations were adapted to assist agencies as they attempted to continue providing care in extraordinary circumstances. As the industry attempts to return to more normal
operations we have to wonder if it will it ever be truly “normal” again? Do we really want it to be? Some aspects, such as the ability to work remotely, have boosted employee
satisfaction and increased productivity. Is bringing everyone back to in person working situations the best plan? Should we have clinicians back in the office for education,
meetings and case conferences? Will changes impact my current staffing challenges, and how? This session will help you inspire your team, through culture and leadership,
to begin the process of defining what the “new normal” looks and feels like for your organization.

Faculty: Chris Attaya
Program Description: Home Health offers hospitals one of the best
strategies to reduce 30-day readmissions, but are we living up to the challenge? With the negative reimbursement impacts to
hospitals and a likely HHA pay-for-performance measure, agencies need to continually look at their data to understand the
relationships of patient characteristics and the utilization of services provided to improve their scores. Using data from the
SHP (Strategic Healthcare Programs) database, we will analyze the different characteristics and agency profiles behind
hospital readmissions. The data provided during this session will help agencies focus and refine efforts that lead to better
performance. This session will:
Identify how HHA’s should use the CMS hospital readmission penalty criteria to position their value proposition
Identify the characteristics of patients that are readmitted to the hospital
Analyze readmission rates between different agency types
List three definite red flags that put patients at high risk of readmitting within 30 days of discharge from the hospital
Presentation Date: 08.10.2017
Learning Outcomes(s): Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change or enhance their
practice by recognizing characteristics of patients at high risk of hospital readmission and identifying optimal utilization of services to promote positive patient outcomes.
