83-G. Improve Your Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Score

Ask home health providers what keeps them up at night, and many will cite the risk of a negative score under the expanded Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model, which adjusts Medicare payments based on quality performance. This session may ease their concerns. A home health provider and consultant will share how they turned a negative HHVBP score and financial penalty into a positive payment adjustment. They'll show you how to interpret HHVBP scorecards, review data sources, and design and implement an improvement strategy. They'll also offer tips for aligning key operational areas to improve HHVBP measurement outcomes.
