When Medicare rolls out its pay-for-performance program for home health in a few years, it will likely be based on the current home health quality improvement (HHQI) measures.
To see how well you'd fare under P4P, compare your performance on these quality measures to others nationwide and in your state. You can also see how you stack up to the top performers.
Fill in the blanks: Complete the form below using benchmarks from your state and your agency's scores.
