With the recent changes in home health policies coming from the CMS, I’m curious how everyone feels it’s affecting patient care. For instance, the new reimbursement structure emphasizes outcomes over volume, which could shift our focus on quality — what do you think this means for our approaches in practice?
, this is a bit frustrating. While I see the intent behind the ‘new reimbursement structure emphasizes outcomes over volume,’ it also feels like there’s a lot of pressure to prove those outcomes quickly. We’ve had to adapt our care plans on the fly, and it sometimes feels rushed.
It’s like trying to hit a moving target with all these new regulations! Focusing on outcomes is definitely a step forward, but we’ll have to get creative to maintain patient connections amidst the pressure. Do you think more training on these changes would help us adapt?
