Maintenance and Palliative Therapy: Promoting Chronic Care Management and Financial Success is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Learn how an agency took a chronic care management approach, including maintenance therapy, to rebound from a financial loss, while reducing hospital and ER rates. This approach controls treatment costs through prevention, and it’s at the heart of health care reform. CMS also validated the significance of chronic care management when Jimmo v.Sebelius was settled in 2013. By foregoing the requirement for patients to show medical or functional improvement, CMS opened the door for more effective disease management. Be part of this paradigm shift from acute to chronic care. You’ll learn how to develop tools geared toward best practices and ADR audits, help your therapists make the shift, and get buy-in from stakeholders, whether their interest is clinical or financial, or for ACO or IAH (Independence at Home) projects.
