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.

Program Description: In this presentation you will learn the rules of the Rate Enhancement Program and how to participate while staying in compliance.
Falling out of compliance in this program will cost more than just recoupment, it will cost you spending levels within the program that may be hard to recover.
And missing the mark by only a small amount will have you out of compliance in a heartbeat. You will learn how to calculate your current spending level, show you how to compare that to
where you should be and offer guidance on how to ensure you consistently meet your spending requirements of the program.

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.

30% of those veterans have multiple chronic conditions that may be managed by private duty care. Most veterans and
private duty organizations are unaware of the multiple funding sources available to pay for veterans care.

home health, and hospice care) will ensure that your organization is ready to grow your referral
sources while providing a niche market to those that have served our country so well.

Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | Spring Virtual Conference | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | May 12, 2022
Program Description: When we talk about boundaries in private duty home care, we sometimes cringe. We cringe because we know
that even our best staff cross professional boundaries with their clients, and some obliterate boundaries altogether. This happens despite an agency's best efforts
to put professional boundary measures in place and communicate about them constantly. When added to the stressors of daily operations, this frustrating topic
gets placed at the bottom of the priority list. "It's going to happen anyway, and our efforts backfire, so what can we do about it?" This session reviews
what's okay and what's not okay when it comes to staff's relationships with clients, and how to mitigate the potential risks to the agency.
