Demonstrating the Financial Opportunities in the Home Health Model

PDGM rewired the care production and delivery processes for Home Health episodes, eliminating Therapy Volume as the primary payment factor and connecting payment to Start of Care acuity under a capitated model resembling DRGs. Adding the introduction of Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Expansion also changed the financial landscape for HH Agencies. This progressive presentation addresses HH Operations for their role in fiscal outcomes, with specifics for success addressed individually, from Intake to SOC, In-Episode to DC Management, and much more.

HOPE: Protecting Your Bottom Line

Hospices are facing the transition from the Hospice Item Set to the Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation on October 1, 2025. While the primary goal of hospice is to provide excellent care for our patients and improved outcomes for family members, protecting your agency from potential revenue loss is essential for success.

Solutions for Outdated PBM Models that are Failing Hospices

Traditional Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) models create constant challenges for hospices—delayed medication access, lack of cost transparency, and inefficient processes that drive up spending and overwhelm care teams. These outdated systems add unnecessary stress for nurses, increase after-hour emergencies, and make it harder to provide timely, dignified care for patients. In this session, we’ll explore proactive strategies to reduce medication costs and streamline workflows, helping your hospice deliver better care with greater efficiency.

Leading Through Change

Change is constant – but effective leaders don’t just manage change; they lead it. In this workshop, we explore the neuroscience behind change  management and decision-making, giving leaders the tools to understand how the brain reacts to change and how to guide teams through uncertainty with confidence. We begin with a science-backed approach to change, explaining the importance of communication in change management. Change without clarity leads to confusion.
