Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.

[3057] Deep Dive: Hospital Readmissions Data Helps Agencies Reduce Rates Further
Education-Training Credits:
1.5 Hr(s) HCSSA Administrator/Alternate
Summary: What data shows about hospital readmissions.
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][6]risk assessment and management
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.

should be expanded nationwide in 2023. Join Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) data guru Chris Attaya for an analysis of Texas agencies overall
performance compared to providers in other states. Additionally, viewers will gain insight into what to expect in the next phase of HHVBP to ensure success.
