OCS announces the delivery of the PPS Impact™ Dashboards!

This set of comparative dashboards, released just days after the proposed Home Health PPS rule changes were announced, provides home care agencies ongoing quarterly detailed reports regarding therapy utilization, patient diagnoses, and domain distribution. The first Dashboard to be released is for Therapy, with the others to follow.

PPS Impact™ Dashboards are the second in a suite of three products available in the OCS PPS Impact™ program, the only solution available in the industry that shows where, and to what degree, an agency will be affected by the new PPS rule changes.

If you are an OCS Client, log into Home Health Connection today to access your PPS Impact™ Dashboards report.

If you are not an OCS Client, send an email to info@ocsys.com to find out how your agency can receive your copy of the PPS Impact™ Dashboards.

OCS and Simione Consultants, LLC (Simione) announce a partnership to make OCS' PPS Impact™ products available with their premier consulting services.
