Presentation Length: 57 mins
Suggested Audience: Managers and Clinicians
Telehealth presents new opportunities for homecare agencies to optimize clinical and financial outcomes. Yet many agencies struggle with telehealth because they don't know who should get telehealth, and so boxes sit on agency shelves. As homecare agencies prepare to implement Disease Management programs and become partners with providers and payers in Pay for Performance, they need to be able to risk stratify their chronic disease populations. Agencies who can optimize their clinical resources and technology will be winners in this new Pay for Performance market! In this 57 minute presentation, attendees will learn evidence-based stratification measures for high risk diagnoses that are being targeted in Pay for Performance and Disease Management initiatives. Low risk to high risk strategies for CHF, Diabetes and COPD/Asthma will be explored. Concrete examples and tools will be shown.
