Program Description:
In today’s evolving home health landscape, quality is no longer just a regulatory requirement – it is a key driver of patient outcomes, agency performance, and reimbursement. This program demonstrates how to transform your Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program from a compliance obligation into a strategic tool that directly influences Star Ratings and Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) outcomes.
You will learn how to use data sources – including iQIES reports, outcome measures, and patient experience data – to identify performance gaps, prioritize improvement efforts, and implement targeted Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs). It also highlights the alignment between QAPI initiatives, showing how focused efforts can produce measurable improvements. Practical examples and strategies are shared to help agencies enhance documentation accuracy, improve clinical practices, and drive better outcomes and financial performance.

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.
