Presented on:
Tuesday, November 08, 2016
1:00-2:30 p.m. Eastern

Presented by:
Kelea Nardini, RN, MSN

Level of Program:
Intermediate

How your patient perceives your home health agency’s care matters greatly to your scores. Home health CAHPS scores, processes, and outcome measures are publicly reported. Those making referrals and looking to create hhhountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are noticing. What better way to learn how to improve your scores than by an agency that has already done it!

Attendees will learn how to improve home health quality through the use of tools and auditing practices. You’ll also learn to identify trends when reviewing your data, improve clinical results, and incorporate patient goals into the active care plan.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Identify and implement tools in the homecare setting to improve quality, safety, and patient satisfaction
  • Incorporate auditing practices to improve quality outcomes
  • Identify trends from audit data to provide focused staff education
  • Engage staff in improving clinical results
  • Incorporate patient goals into the active care plan during case conferences
