As Home Health Value-Based Purchasing expands nationwide, agencies will be measured to a new standard and there will be a rise in value-driven competition. In this new podcast episode, Step 7: Competing to win the home health market, Cindy Campbell, RN, MHA Healthcare Informatics, Director of Operational Consulting, WellSky, and Yancey Stout, Director of Solutions Management, WellSky, discuss value-based competition and how your agency should position itself to compete and win in HHVBP.
Join us for Step 6: Improving patient satisfaction — each visit, each encounter presented by Cindy Campbell, Director of Operational Consulting, WellSky.
Patient satisfaction is closely tied to value and engagement. How a patient feels about their care impacts their level of engagement in their care plan, and ultimately the outcome achieved. Patients and families place high value on healthcare that is respectful, empathetic, and connected. The value of engagement and patient satisfaction is very high when it comes to both outcomes and cost – so payers are interested. Listen now to learn more.
