OCS Summit Session on PPS
|
|
Session geared to give an insider's view of PPS
Changes in the prospective payment system (PPS)
and Pay-for-Performance (P4P) are just two examples
of the many reimbursement and regulatory challenges
that our home care industry is facing today.
One special session at the 2007 OCS Summit,
presented by Terris
King , the CMS executive responsible for
the implementation of Pay-for-Performance across
health care, will focus on how agencies can best
demonstrate value in this ever evolving payment
environment.
In this session, Demonstrating the Value in an
Evolving Payment Environment, Mr.
King
will describe the evolving CMS vision and openly
discuss how trends such as home health PPS, P4P,
quality-based purchasing, post-acute setting
selection, longitudinal outcomes, and the long-term
financial implications of today's care choices are
influencing the payment structure today, as well as the
plans for tomorrow.
