Annual Membership Meeting

Thursday, September 22, 2016
from 8:30 am - 12:00 noon
at
Bangor Savings Bank
Top-Floor Grande Dirigo Room
Augusta, Maine 

As health care expenditures increase, payers, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, are transitioning from reimbursement based on "types" and "volume" of services to an approach called value based purchasing (VBP), which emphasizes reimbursement based on the "quality" of provided care.  CMS began its pilot program for Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HH-VBP) to align providers through a system that ties quality to reimbursement, while enhancing the patient experience.  In order to meet these performance-based payment strategies, agencies must demonstrate improved outcomes, compliance and operational efficiency.  

Are you ready for this new approach to improve quality, lower costs and enhance the patient experience? Join us to learn more about VBP requirements to ensure that you're prepared to improve outcomes, stay compliant and increase operational efficiency.  Specifically, through expert facilitation, Wayne Regan, Director of Interim Management Services, Simione Healthcare Consultants will help our audience:

1. Understand the changing healthcare landscape, including various models of Value Based Purchasing;
2. Identify the components to Home Health Value Based Purchasing (HHVBP), 
3. Pinpoint your agency's risks and opportunities;
4. Retrieve data and develop analytic capacity to support articulation of your organization’s value proposition;
5. Implement standardized care pathways and protocols for reduction of avoidable hospitalizations;
6. Transition towards readiness for Value-Based Transformation, and for reduction of avoidable hospitalizations; and
7. Understand the educational tools needed to prepare staff.
