Only months after the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) took effect, the entire world was turned upside down by COVID-19. Now that we may finally be emerging from the pandemic, home health agencies are focusing less on PPE and more on finding their footing again on PDGM. So where are we and what’s ahead for PDGM?
Nick Seabrook, Managing Principal at SimiTree, will help us understand what the nearly two years of PDGM data has revealed and where PDGM is headed with Home Health Value-Based Purchasing on the horizon. During this session, Nick will review:
- Lessons learned from PDGM so far and what they mean
- Pitfalls and opportunities for PDGM success emerging from COVID-19
- What’s next for PDGM with an eye toward the release of the proposed payment rule for 2023 this summer
- Anticipated impacts of Value-Based Purchasing on PDGM in 2023
