Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) - Implementation for Home Health & Hospice

[3745] Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) - Implementation for Home Health & Hospice
Describes the process for setting up a CDI in your agency to improve multiple aspects of your agency's operation. Presentation Info: TAHC&H Event | Winter Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access Presentation Date | February 9, 2023 Program Description: CDI is rapidly making its way into the home health and hospice industry! The onslaught of medical reviews resulting in denial of payment, significant overpayments, and even suspension of payments has pointed out one clear fact - a Clinical Documentation Improvement Program is tantamount to survival. The name is new; the process is not. Agencies have been doing many pieces of CDI for years but have failed to formalize it into a robust CDI Program. Improving documentation to support skilled need, coding, outcomes, quality initiatives, reimbursement is ongoing and is distributed among many roles in the office. But the time to formalize the program is NOW! This presentation describes the process for setting up a CDI in your agency with the purpose being to improve patient outcomes, prevent denials, maintain survey readiness, improve the integrity of documentation and coding process to ensure accurate reimbursement, protect the agency from liability and claims errors, improve Agency Star Ratings, Value Based Purchasing Outcomes, and CAHPS while maintaining peace of mind in the agency's overall operation. CDI can be a part of the QAPI program, but CDI goes beyond the QAPI program involving metrics, financials and operations in addition to clinical functions tracked in QAPI.

Education-Training Credits: 1.25 Hr(s) HCSSA Administrator/Alternate Summary: Clinical practices that make a difference in HHVBP scoring. 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 §558.260[a][7]financial management Faculty: Melinda Gaboury Program Description: With Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HHVBP) going strong in the 9 demonstration states it is a forgone conclusion that HHVBP will become a nationwide reality. The core goal of HHVBP is to reach the best practical patient outcome. HHVBP measures focus on clinical outcomes as central components of a performance measurement system. For many years, HHAs have worked to achieve improved patient outcomes, but there was no direct connection to payment. With HHVBP, clinical success for payments can translate to higher Medicare reimbursement. This program is designed to explore the clinical practices that make a difference in HHVBP scoring. When clinical practices work for patients, HHVBP makes them work for a HHAs bottom-line as well. This session will: Identify areas most susceptible to patient outcome improvement Recognize best practices in clinical operations that impact HHVBP scores Identify practical steps towards successful implementation of HHVBP best practices 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 best practices in clinical operations that impact client outcomes and home health Value-Based Purchasing scores.
