Leveraging HHVBP Data Analytics to Power Performance Improvement
Michael Simione, MBA, VP of Post Acute Data Analytics
With the nationwide rollout of Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP), success now hinges on the ability to turn data into actionable insights. This session explores how home health providers can use HHVBP performance data to identify opportunities, benchmark progress, and implement strategies that drive measurable improvement. Attendees will learn how to interpret key metrics such as OASIS accuracy (for both SOC and DC), Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH) and HHCAHPS survey scores, and translate them into targeted operational and clinical enhancements. Through case examples and practical tools, this session will equip agencies with data-driven approaches to elevate care quality, strengthen patient engagement, and boost their competitive position under value-based reimbursement.
