701. Innovative Programs Within Home Health is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
Innovation, leadership, and resilience in a rapidly changing health care world are crucial, and the home care industry has never been as poised to rise to the occasion. The recent Public Health Emergency has placed the home care industry front and center and proven it is resilient, transformative, and ready to meet the needs of patients in the ever-evolving U.S. health care system. By all measures, the home is the future of health care. Home health providers are driving solutions to ensure better care transitions and care coordination across the continuum. One of the greatest health care challenges facing our country is ensuring that older Americans with serious chronic illness and other maladies of aging can remain as independent as possible and age in place, which has proven to be the most cost-effective option. How can we be ready for the next challenge that comes our way? What opportunities are out there for home-based care to step up and show out when the need arises? Meeting this challenge will require envisioning the potential value of home-based health care, creating a pathway for home-based care to maximize its potential, and integrating it fully into the U.S. health care system. This session will discuss opportunities your organization can implement to better serve your communities, while also diversifying revenue streams in your organization. This session will touch on the expansion and addition of Hospital at Home programs, the new generation ACO’s, Palliative Care programs, Primary Home Care, and more.
