2011 Homecare Changes: Strategies for the Future, Thursday, September 16th at 2 PM Central

Home Health faces many challenges as a result of the latest refinements to the homecare model. Audit scrutiny from numerous CMS contractors, combined with sweeping modifications identified in the PPS Proposed Rule for 2011, will alter how agencies and clinicians identify and deliver in-home care in the near future. The newly revised concept of qualified care will modify and re-define acceptable protocols for Home Health: reasonable and necessary requirements will be the basis for coverage, and the working definition of how this is applied to care programs will be required for claim approval. In addition, decreases in funding and alterations in case-mix methodology, both seen in the proposed PPS Rule for 2011, will increase the need for escalated clinical control in homecare programming.

It’s Time for a Change: 2011 ICD-9 Codes, Thursday, September 30th at 2 PM Central

Each year the proposed rule is released for the upcoming year. As clinicians, we look for additions, deletions or revised ICD-9 codes. Some of the codes may not affect your everyday process as in the case of new or revised E codes, which are used primarily in acute settings. But, there are always codes that will need to be implemented.

Ready to Increase Your Productivity? We Have The Tools You Need.

Increase your nurse’s productivity, lower billing turnaround time, and improve accuracy for all around better patient care. Make it happen with HealthWare’s InMotion. Our Point of Care application features real time feedback and validation while completing assessments. Don't waste time re-entering clinical documentation, just do it once from the patients home. A live Internet connection is not required when entering data; you can enter data "offline" and sync the information back to the office when an Internet connection is available. In fact, when InMotion detects an available Internet connection, it will automatically start syncing in the background.

The HealthWare Clinical Assistant provokes critical thinking and improves consistency by providing real time alerts and visualizations during data entry. Consistency checks are automatically performed not only on the current information, but also across previous documents and time. If you get an alert, click on visualize and see it represented graphically to help you quickly gain a better understanding.

Combine all this with HealthWare TeamWork to create a system that enables the care team to collaborate virtually. Hold conversations related to a patients care in ways similar to today’s social networking websites and more securely than most email, paper or pager systems. Each person involved in the conversation can participate providing their input and the information is available to all other participants. Best of all the conversation becomes a part of the patient’s record. For agencies still using email and text messages as their primary means of communicating with and between clinical staff, this eliminates the need to print out emails and get this communication into the chart. Using TeamWork you can harness the power of today’s electronic social networking to provide better patient care.

InMotion, Clinical Assistant and TeamWork, driving highly productive patient care.
