  Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Conference

  
  Join MNCHA and NAHC for a joint value-based-purchasing educational conference!
  
  

  Register today to receive an Immunization toolkit from Health Quality Innovators onsite.
  
  

  In 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated a demonstration program testing out the impact of a value-based purchasing program in Medicare home health services. With just over a year of experience in home health value-based purchasing (HHVBP), home health agencies need to evaluate what are the early outcomes and what best practices have emerged to improve HHVBP scores and qualify for bonus payments. This program is the second phase of the educational effort by IAHC and the National Association for Home Care & Hospice to prepare home health care leaders for the brave new world of value-based payment.

  
  

  The program combines an early data analysis of the changes in HHVBP measured outcomes with real life successes by clinicians and financial operations professionals that show the pathways to improved patient outcomes, higher achievement scores and a winning year in HHVBP.

  
  

  
  

  Target Audience

  Home health agencies, supervisors/managers, clinicians, case managers, leadership staff and quality/compliance managers
