Description:
In addition to the challenges with PDGM surrounding 30-day payment periods and updated visit thresholds, the industry also faced a variety of regulatory changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. With telehealth becoming a widely used tool in home health, it also brought upon challenges in managing patient care. Data shows providers continue to struggle with managing utilization under PDGM. This heightens the focus on utilization management strategies and what your organization can do to achieve clinical excellence while remaining financially strong. This session will review national utilization trends and focus on best practices for managing utilization, while maintaining quality care delivery.
