The Value of Occupational Therapy in the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Model

Is your home health agency using your occupational therapists to their full potential? Did you know that approximately 95% of the OASIS tool is within the scope of Occupational Therapy practice? Or that the training an occupational therapist receives uniquely positions them to be a provider of choice in the home health setting?

This 30-minute webinar will provide insights and examples of how to clarify the value of your OT clinicians and how to maximize their skills to achieve optimal quality measures for Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP). Topics will include referring diagnoses that justify OT as part of the team, the alignment of OT services to the HHVBP measures, and how to avoid reimbursement pitfalls around duplicating efforts.

Learning objectives:

• Define the role of the OT as part of the home health team.
• Identify strategies to maximize the value of the OT in the HHVBP model.
• Describe strategies to minimize risk of duplicating efforts.
