NAHC to Host 12 New Summits on PDGM Lessons Learned

Testimonials

One of the most significant benefits of joining a professional organization, like NAHC, is the opportunity it provides to either be a mentor or to find one. As a previous “mentoree,” I am a huge advocate for the NAHC Mentorship program. I was blessed to gain Carolyn Fleistra as a mentor. Carolyn offered me the ability to learn the industry and association from someone who had worked in the industry at the executive level for years and someone who had been involved in the organization at a high level. She shared her experiences, shared tips, ensured I knew where to be, and above all, gave me a sense of belonging. I highly encourage anyone to seek mentorship
Summer Napier, President, Healing Hands Healthcare, LLC
When I first became a homecare executive, my predecessor and first home health & hospice mentor advised me to join HHFMA. “And never miss the Finance conference!” It was fantastic advice. The HHFMA has been a great source of current information over my career, and its mentoring program was a terrific additional benefit. I was fortunate to be assigned a wonderful mentor, Marcylle Combs. She answered my questions, introduced me to others, and helped me navigate all the resources available to members through NAHC and the HHFMA. I’ve also really enjoyed mentoring others over the years. If you are new to the HHFMA, a mentor can help you optimize your membership. If you are experienced, serving as a mentor is a wonderful way to give back to the homecare and hospice community.
Carolyn Flietstra BSN RN, Executive Vice President (Retired), Christian Living Services
Through the HHFMA Mentorship program I have had several formal and informal conversations with my assigned mentor. This has provided the opportunity to evaluate and achieve my career goals within the industry – like being appointed to the HHFMA Workgroup. The knowledge I have gained since joining the industry has been extensive and the HHFMA Mentorship program has played a major role in my career development. I will continue to contribute to the success of this initiative, including becoming a mentor myself.
RJ Gagnon, CFO, Androscoggin Home Health and Hospice
The HHFMA Mentorship program has provided me with a great professional relationship with someone outside of my own organization. My mentor has been a great sounding board and someone I can reach out to as for insight and guidance related to professional development, speaking opportunities, educational resources and especially career aspirations. We often work together to discuss both financial and regulatory changes that will impact the home health and/or hospice industries. I cannot stress enough the value I have received being in the HHFMA Mentorship program and plan to become a mentor myself.

The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), in partnership with the NAHC Forum of State Associations, the Home Care & Hospice Financial Managers Association, and the Home Care Technology Association of America, will sponsor 12 one-day National Summits across the country, from March 30 through April 14.

Success Comes From Continuous Operational Improvements: Lessons Learned in PDGM 2020 Q1

These Summits will focus on PDGM-related continuous performance improvement in financial, clinical, data analytics, and administrative operations. These are not “run-of-the-mill” PDGM programs. Instead, these programs are based on real-time, nationwide experiences and data that provide the nationally-renowned expert faculty with the deepest understanding about how to achieve success in PDGM. Comparable in format to the intensely valuable 2019 Summits, the PDGM 2020 National Summits will be your key to thriving under PDGM. The major difference is that PDGM is now affecting every Medicare home health agency and will have the experiences and data to fully determine the ingredients for success.

Faculty for these one-day programs once again will be comprised of leading national experts from top home health consulting firms who will provide you with the tools and knowledge to:

Gain a better understanding of what it takes to be a winner in PDGM;
Identify key steps that are proving successful in managing services under PDGM;
Recognize the actions that create unnecessary risks for your HHA; and
Determine the early clinical and financial benchmarks that distinguish the successful HHA from others.

Attending one of these summits will fully prepare you to undertake any needed course corrections in your PDGM management, along with reinforcing the actions that you have already taken to ensure a positive outcome throughout 2020 and beyond.
