Home Health Providers are you ready for PDGM? This series will help you prepare for the Patient Drive Groupings Model that goes into effect January 2020.

The Patient Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), slated for implementation in January 2020, constitutes the most comprehensive set of operational, clinical, and financial imperatives for home health agencies since the introduction of the Prospective Payment System (PPS). It will require significant shifts in the approach that agencies of all sizes take to delivering care, evaluating patient outcomes, billing for services, and sustaining operations. PDGM represents an unprecedented opportunity for many providers – and a significant threat for many others – impacting every facet of operations.

Each one-hour webinar explores a different component of PDGM, delivering the tools you need to assess your strengths and master PDGM independently.
