Presentation Date | September 7, 2022
Program Description: Unfortunately, COVID-19 has now been with us for two years and isn’t expected to fade away any time soon.
In the wake of COVID-19, CMS has taken a number of steps to make it easier for patients to be treated remotely, using telehealth. Many home health and hospice agencies
have expressed interest in this treatment approach and are still evaluating whether or not to implement its use in their agency. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of
confusion with regard to the use of telehealth when providing home health or hospice care. During this webinar, we will try to address a number of your questions in this regard.
Join attorneys Ashley Morgan and Jennifer Papapanagiotou for a discussion of the current home health and hospice telehealth environment and the risks that your agency
may face should you choose to employ this type of care.

TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter(s): Brian Bruenderman, Stoneridge Partners & Joe Lynch, Stoneridge Partners
About the Presenter(s):
Brian Bruenderman brings almost 20 years of M&A experience to Stoneridge Partners - nearly a decade has been devoted exclusively to companies serving the health and human services arena.
Brian Bruenderman joined Stoneridge Partners after a successful stint as Director of Business Development for Almost Family, a leading provider of home health nursing, rehabilitation and personal care services with over 250 locations in 15 states. During his tenure, despite much uncertainty in the home health industry at the time, Almost Family acquired $160 million in annual revenues, including the largest transaction in the company’s history.
Prior to Almost Family, Bruenderman was the Senior Director of Development for ResCare, Inc., a national human services company with more than $1.6 billion in revenue and operations in 42 states. Bruenderman's strategic approach to developing new markets through selective acquisitions led to $350 million in growth for ResCare and launched the company into the Fortune 1000. Today, he has been involved in the purchase of over 125 health and human service companies.
Bruenderman received his Bachelor of Arts degree and Juris Doctor from the University of Louisville. While in college, he purchased several small businesses and credits his later success to that experience. His business background and legal education give him the skills and perspective to successfully negotiate transactions all the way through closing. Specifically, his almost two decades of involvement with strategic buyers gives him a unique insight into how they approach valuation, diligence and negotiation. This combination of education and experience makes him a valuable addition to any transaction.
Bruenderman runs the Louisville office.
About the Presenter(s):
Joe Lynch has more than 30 years of healthcare expertise.
At Stoneridge Partners, he brings experience in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, finance, regulatory compliance, human resources

working closely with corporate management to successfully grow OrNda Healthcorp’s (now Tenet’s) home health care presence. In 1997, he
founded Reachout Home Care, a Medicare and private duty agency, where he served as co-owner and CEO. Over the next 17 years, Joe
steadily grew Reachout through both acquisition and organic growth into three operating companies in Dallas and Houston, employing
more than 170 health care workers. In 2014, he sold his company to Humana. Throughout his career, he has been a leader in revenue
growth and expansion via start-ups, acquisitions and organic growth through marketing and sales in both public and private companies. He
has worked in the health care industry for decades and brings his vast experience along with a high degree of professionalism to each transaction.

profitable than one that has to hire and manage a larger staff that does not make the company money or keeps the company accredited. This program addresses issues facing any employer in today’s

No Client Left Behind: Taking QAPI Seriously in PAS
[3626] No Client Left Behind: Taking QAPI Seriously in PAS
Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is often treated as a chore...but it's so much more than that!
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Winter Conference 2022 | Dallas | Recorded for On-Demand Access
Presentation Date | February 24, 2022
Program Description: Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is often treated as a chore we have to
"check off the list" to remain in compliance with regulations. But it's so much more than that. There's a reason that every successful organization in the world
uses some version of QAPI as a measuring tool to continue to evolve and adapt in an ever-changing environment. Just because you don't bill medical insurance,
doesn't mean that QAPI is less important than it is for home health and hospice. Private Duty agencies have a different, and in some ways deeper obligation
to their clientele than medical providers. You're in their homes for extended periods of time, and become involved in many areas of their lives, including
their general wellbeing. With this in mind, you'll learn how analyzing QA information and applying improved performance measures to the whole spectrum of
service will not only enhance the quality of care you provide, but foster loyalty amongst your clients and employees.

§558.260[a][7]financial management
Program Description: Many agencies are looking for more and more ways to trim the expenses from their overhead and
therefore recognize a stronger bottom line profit. One significant cost savings they take advantage of is outsourcing work that can easily be outsourced while
leaving the owners and operators in control of their businesses. There are many back office functions that can be outsourced such as payroll, billing and QA – but
accounting is an often overlooked back office function that can also be easily outsourced to provide the agency a better bottom line, reduced administrative
staff costs and less back office management needed. Not only can this be a cost savings but it can also really simplify the operations – less staff to manage
and knowing that someone who is skilled at that activity is handling it.
In this session we will discuss which scenarios make the most sense to outsource the accounting function of the agency, how it works and what
solutions are out there to assist in finding the right mix of outsourcing the work but still maintaining control.

Faculty: Khan, Nusrat (Ness)
Program Description: The current void of collaborative care between
the primary care physician’s practice, inpatient care, and home health is
costly for the U.S. healthcare system and can result in poor outcomes. Home health and primary care in a patient-centered

team collaboration.
PCMH is a patient-centric model of healthcare delivery based on ongoing, personal relationships
between patients, physicians, and healthcare teams, which includes the patient as a team member. In this program a primary care physician
describes how a Texas physician practice transformed into a medical home, adopted PCMH
strategies and partnered with hospitalists and preferred home health partners to improve care coordination,
care delivery, and patient outcomes. Learn why...and how home care is part of the PCMH team.
Presentation Date: 8.20.2014
Program Objectives: Upon completion of this program, the viewer will be able to:
Define the patient-centered medical home model of care delivery.
Discuss the importance of care coordination as it relates to improved care at a reduced
cost.
Describe the implications for future collaboration between home care providers and
physician practices.
