Duration:
1 hour
 

Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) goes into effect on January 1, 2023, as does implementation of the newest version of the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS), OASIS-E. Hanging over these upcoming changes is the recently announced CMS proposed payment rule which decreases provider payment to Home Health agencies by 4.2%.

Brian Harris, Consulting Director and John Rabbia, PT, DPT, MS, MBA, COS-C, Director of Operations Consulting at leading healthcare consulting organization SimiTree, provide a road map for where your agency should be as we head into the second half of 2022 in preparation for VBP. They will also lead you through updates on OASIS-E progress, what the proposed rule means for your agency, and how to put your agency in a better position before the end of 2022.
