niche market through the development of a veteran centric specialty program and improve the lives of those that have served our country and communities. This program addresses all

In-depth look at the HHCAHPS survey to learn how scores are interpreted, their impact, and how to improve your agency’s performance.

Presentation Track | Medicare Home Health
Program Description: With the introduction of the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model, there's a direct financial implication for agencies based on their
Home Health Care Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HHCAHPS) measures. It's vital for home health providers to recognize that "Patient Experience" is as crucial, if not more so, than the conventional view of
HHCAHPS as simply a "Patient Satisfaction" indicator. A detailed examination of HHCAHPS reveals that an impressive 17 out of 19 questions zero in on patient experience, underlining its increasing significance.
This focus resonates with the trends we've seen in acute care settings in the past few years. Elevating your agency's HHCAHPS scores holds significance because it indicates not just patient contentment but can also
catalyze enhancements in quality, influence reimbursement and financial support, establish a competitive edge, guarantee adherence to regulations, furnish ongoing insights, enhance staff involvement, and
foster a culture of accountability and transparency. Ultimately, this endeavor contributes to improved patient care and outcomes. In this program you will receive insights into the specific HHCAHPS questions
that influence patients' evaluations of clinicians. Actionable strategies are offered to help agencies enhance patient experiences, improve HHCAHPS scores, and cultivate a more robust relationship
between patients and clinicians in today's healthcare environment. View this in-depth look at the HHCAHPS survey to learn how scores are interpreted, their impact, and how to improve your agency’s performance.

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.
