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.
