Managing by Data - January 12, 2016
The volume and types of data collected by home health agencies often overwhelm agency managers and staff. Successful managers need to sort data for efficient use, analyze its meaning, and use it to make sound decisions. This program offers guidance on how to accomplish this task. We will identify sources of data, recommend a frequency plan, determine relevant content for management reports, and recognize problem areas identified by each report. Learn to develop targeted plans for problem areas and discuss using reports to monitor progress of corrective action plans.
Objectives:
- Identify various data types available to agency staff - Fiscal, Organizational, Quality and Compliance Data
- Describe how to optimally manage and use data to achieve identified goals
Survey & Certification- Survey Ready in 90 Days! - January 26, 2016
Regulatory changes in 2015 and beyond mean Home Health and Hospice providers can expect very different Accreditation/Medicare Certification Surveys in content, approach and expectation. What might have resulted in a “passing” survey will not meet today’s standards. This program will provide a 90-day Timeline to Survey Readiness based on a PDSA approach and applying quality management principles to the agency’s data. The focus will be on assessing readiness in primary risk areas, establishing compliance goals, creating a PDSA process to achieve them, and maintaining a level of readiness.
Objectives:
- Identify the 5 primary focus areas of the survey process
- Identify the steps to follow in preparing agency/staff for the survey process
- Identify the 10 most common citations and establish a prospective remediation plan to avoid them

Objectives:
