Driving Decisions with Data: A Seminar for Clinical Managers
June 6, 2018
Albany Marriott
189 Wolf Road, Albany, NY 12205
Home health care agencies will survive and thrive in the new value based health care world if their clinical managers use data to improve population health outcomes, lower costs, reduce waste in work and improve the patient and clinician experience. The new Medicare Conditions of Participation for home health care also require agencies to adopt a data driven approach to Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement (QAPI).
This practical and interactive seminar will help managers understand their role in using data to drive decisions for both the agency QAPI process and in daily clinical work.
Managers will leave with essential tools and techniques for obtaining data, step by step data analysis methods and practical methods for achieving target goals.
Participants will have an opportunity to analyze clinical and business data, to develop action plans and to apply data-driven decisions to real operational work problems.
