HOME HEALTH STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT considers it our professional mandate to assist Medicare certified agencies with their quality care delivery in order to help provide contemporary homecare services to as large a client base as possible. Home Health Strategic Management provides coaching and consulting services to Medicare home care agencies who seek to provide quality, contemporary services to today’s homebound client. Recent and future changes in the home health industry have caused many agencies to struggle with quality care, staff management, resource utilization, outcomes and financial health.
 
The post-BBA Medicare model requires that agencies become fluent and successful in terms of OBQI, productivity, best practice guidelines, and OASIS-based care strategies. A significant percentage of our industry continues to wrestle with the Prospective Payment System currently defining reimbursable care. With further changes projected in the near future, it is clear that the homecare landscape will be rocky and uncertain compared to recent years. Areas of expertise gained through our extensive homecare experience include OASIS, HHRG analysis, OBQI and staff educational coaching and management system design.
