First Performance Year Quick Guide
To provide home health agencies (HHAs) with a review of what to expect in the first performance year of the expanded HHVBP Model and highlight the resources provided during the pre-implementation year, the HHVBP Technical Assistance (TA) team created an on-demand video and downloadable resource, "First Performance Year Quick Guide", now available on the Expanded HHVBP Model webpage under Quality Improvement.
The resources follow an SBAR (situation, background, assessment, and recommendation) briefing format, leading to a recommendation that HHAs conduct a strategic review of quality performance and develop and implement an action plan to address identified opportunities for improvement. In addition, content includes a description and timeline for the expanded Model performance reports.
Additionally, there will be a live stream of the on-demand video at 4:30 PM ET on January 19, 2023. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions during the event. Click here to register: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LkWh-sR_SJ-UXSM_aFPusg.
