Sessions & Schedule

Speaker:  Arnie Cisneros and Kimberly McCormick, Home Health Strategic Management (HHSM) 

​

Session Description: Home Health’s Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Model is the latest of the Impact Act Volume to Value reforms to affect how we develop and deliver care. By redefining HH quality in terms of Pay-for-Performance (P4P), VBP seeks to improve care efficiency. As a result, traditional HH Care production and management processes fail to achieve VBP-based quality baselines and the related bonus payment.  

​

When reviewing the HH VBP model, it quickly becomes apparent that the depth and specificity employed to track, define, and reward qualified care extends well beyond the current level of management in most Home Health agencies. The complexity of VBP contrasts starkly with both the Star Ratings and HHCAHPS models we know, and it is much more difficult to achieve success. Finally, HH VPB will deliver bonus payments to the top 10% of HH Providers nationally, and few if any Providers could hope to qualify for the bonus without a major VBP-based quality initiative in their agencies. This progressive presentation tackles the HH VBP reform from all angles for success to assure your V2V performance produces newly identified outcome levels.

Speaker: Jennifer Lawson, OTR, MS, Knowledge Is Now 

​

Session Description:  This training will address the unique therapeutic paths that children with chronic or progressive conditions may demonstrate and will offer a lens through which we can view and analyze along the way. Context and perspective are key when selecting assessment tools and interpreting findings, as  well as when making decisions around medical necessity, dosage, and interventions. Routines and priorities unique to the individual child/family are particularly important for children with chronic or progressive conditions, given their complexity, and best practice for gathering and utilizing this vital information will be addressed. Additionally, perspective and language around goal development and collaboration with caregivers will be explored. There are times in the life of a child with a chronic or progressive condition where strategic use of the Maintenance Level / Prevent Deterioration frequency/dosage level (as outlined in the TMPPM), may be most appropriate. In this training, we will also describe the benefits of this dosage level, and how it can be utilized most effectively.
