Webinar: The Home Health Value-Based Purchasing First Performance Year

It’s officially 2023 and that means the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) first performance year is here. Starting now, your home health organization will be measured based on how well you perform or improve in the following key areas:

• Home health CAHPS (HHCAHPS) – 30%
• Claims-based measures (60-day hospitalization and emergency department use) – 35%
• OASIS-based measures (self-care, mobility, discharged to community, etc.) – 35%

Agencies that do not perform well in these three areas could see a negative payment adjustment of as much as -5% in 2025.  

When adding the OASIS-based measure Discharged to Community to the claims-based measures for reducing 60-day Hospitalization rates and Emergency Department Use, we see that over 40% of an agency’s measurements relate to keeping patients out of the hospital and in the community. Yet this can be one of the hardest metrics to improve. 

Insights from the National Healthcare at Home Best Practice Study show us that using an interdisciplinary team model versus a distinct clinical team structure is one way to reduce hospitalization rates for agencies.

But that’s only one of over 20 study insights we collected to help agencies improve their HHVBP outcomes.

Described as “the best webinar I’ve ever attended,” this is truly a session you won’t want to miss.
