Pondering Home Health Agency Data: Do Your Scores Match Your Efforts?

Date: July 10, 2024

Time: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Location: Webinar

Registration: Online

DESCRIPTION
Home Health Agency Care Compare and Star Ratings are published for the world to see, but at times the data published doesn't seem to match the team efforts of the agency's staff. In this webinar, explore what can be done to ensure your scores are a true reflection of the care you deliver to your community. We will explore what data is used, the dates of published data and scheduled refreshes, state and National data comparisons, and how to ensure data accuracy.
