Getting Ready for the New Health System: A Simple Strategy for Delivering Better Care at Less Cost is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Home health providers now face conflicting demands to boost quality and cut costs. The pressure to do both will only increase as value-based purchasing takes hold. So how can agencies get ready for this new health care model? You can look to At-Home Health Care for answers. Sparta, Illinois, agency consistently provides higher outcomes, based on most publicly reported HHC measures, using less clinician time. Though it isn’t part of the value-based purchasing pilot, it tracks its performance against VBP norms and has determined how it would measure up if were actually subject to HHVBP. This is likely to be the case for all agencies, so find out what At-Home Health Care is doing — and what you, too, can do — to fulfill the coming demands of VBP.
