There’s still time to register for an educational session on newly released Value-Based Purchasing materials.
Recap: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently issued two sample reports — one for the Interim Performance Report (IPR) and one for the Annual Performance Report (APR). While they don’t include actual home health agency performance data, they aim to familiarize agencies with the crucial VBP tool.
