In the past few years, Healthcare changes have hit the Home Health industry head on, challenging many long-standing beliefs about delivering care in the home. Most of the reforms aren’t focused directly on Home Health; they are primarily related to Medicare’s rewiring of the Care Continuum in terms of Volume to Value. But the net effect of the IMPACT Act reforms is the revamping of our care production and delivery processes, altering the basic premise of Home Health under the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS). By redefining the Home Health identity in terms of positively rewarding rapid outcomes in clinical and fiscal terms, IMPACT Act reforms outline the care path of the future.
Home Health administrators may find the reforms a confusing set of care directives that fail to relate to the home care industry they know. In addition, the reforms don’t necessarily build on the PPS model that directed care for the last 20 years. By rewiring the Home Health model entirely on the clinical acuity (or illness) of an individual patient, IMPACT Act reforms create a model where rapid care outcomes produce improved clinical and fiscal results. The recent Home Health focus on clinical acuity is the basis of additional pending or planned reforms, including the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Model, the Review Choice Demonstration (RCD), and the PPS for post-acute care (PAC) providers.
This progressive, four-part webinar series for Home Health Administrators and Owners addresses Home Health challenges related to IMPACT Act reforms.
