Home Health Agencies
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) principal quality improvement priority for the home health setting is to reduce avoidable acute care hospitalizations. Nine other publically reported quality measures, such as patients’ ability to manage oral medications and dyspnea, are also targeted for improvement. To support this work, KFMC offers best practice tools and resource information on this company website in an effort to keep home health providers aware of the practices that can increase the quality of care for their patients.
