In January, we hosted a webinar, Home Health Value-Based Purchasing: Lessons learned and strategies to improve patient outcomes. Due to popular demand, we now present a deeper dive into the discharge (DC) function score as well as strategies that home health agencies can use to improve assessment accuracy for the OASIS, which is critical to an agency’s Total Performance Scores (TPS).
While the Section GG data elements have been part of the OASIS data set for some time, they have often been underprioritized and inaccurately reported due to their limited direct impact on publicly reported outcomes and reimbursement in home health. In this upcoming educational webinar, WellSky experts, Valarie Johnson, PTMS, COQS, HCS-O, HCS-D, COS-C, CCS-HH, Senior Clinical Educator; and Amanda Gartner, RN, MSN, COS-C, Senior Education Manager, will address the importance of prioritizing GG data elements and will give you strategies for a simplified approach to assessment accuracy in data collection.
