Anatomy of a Healthcare Episode is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Home care has come a long way and should go even further. Take a look at where our industry has been to understand where we stand. Historically health care has consisted of individual silos, based on a divide between acute and post-acute care. Now there’s a tendency to see them as a whole which supports the goals of health care reform. This ongoing trend offers an opportunity for patient-centered home care, so get the knowledge you need to find your rightful place in the provision of a healthcare episode and meet the requirements of preferred providers. Know the consequences of the Triple Aim, bundled payments, CJR, value-based purchasing, ACOs, and the IMPACT Act so you can work with other healthcare sectors as an equal partner.
