Session Details

Session 1: Home Health Rules and Regulations

Transitioning from another setting to home health opens up a whole new arena of rules and regulations. Clinicians want to help people, and time spent on rules can feel like a roadblock to patient care. This session will navigate the unique challenges in home health highlighting key areas that impact therapy services directly.

Session 2: Home Health Prospective Payment System

Balancing clinical and financial information can be challenging in all areas of health care, but in home health the relationship between therapy visits and payment adds additional scrutiny. Moving the industry away from per visit to episodic payment has been a journey for more than ten years, and clinicians new to this setting need to be grounded in how the methodology works. This session examines how payment is calculated for home health episodes and the factors that influence that payment.

Session 3: OASIS- C and Therapy

OASIS is often mistakenly viewed as a one person activity and not an interdisciplinary process. With nursing doing the majority of admissions to home health, therapists can be disconnected from accurate data collection as well as outcome and process measures. This session is specially designed to cover the OASIS process for therapy, taking OASIS and linking it directly to routine therapy practice in home health.

Session 4: Therapy Documentation Introduction

Many therapists have heard horror stories about the amount of documentation expected in home health. High quality documentation is not about volume – it is about focus. This session will examine solid documentation principles to support medical necessity as well as the reassessment requirements that went into effect April 1, 2011.
