HOME HEALTH CONSULTING
"Arnie's contributions to the strategic and clinical direction of our company are without peer. He is pragmatic, to-the-point, professional, responsive, creative and a trusted advisor. His insights reflect realties from the front-lines and at the tip of the spear as home health providers adapt to a new era in homecare. Don't waste your time or money with the old-line, established consultants in our industry who are promoting best practices based on a pre-2008 operating model and reimbursement environment."
David Curtis

"The valuable information that Arnie Cisneros, PT has imparted on our agency has been fun, exciting and enlightening for our management, clinicians and leadership. We have grown these past 3 months in knowledge of Medicare, the OASIS, care delivery, and have improved outcomes as well as impacted our bottom line. We highly recommend Arnie to other agencies who want to grow into 2010 as a highly functional agency positioned for OBQI case conferences, and especially outcomes. The staff have enjoyed the process and have grown in areas that they found previously unfamiliar. Arnie's S.U.R.C.H. method is unlike any other. His case conferences are unique and invaluable. Arnie is a consultant who can evaluate your program, but his implementation of improving your processes is the key to his highly beneficial services. I would recommend him to all agencies who want to grow, become very effective, and challenge their staff while adding to their bottom line!!"

"South Jersey VNA invited Arnie Cisneros of HHSM to provide an inservice for all disciplines as well as a two day-one on one case conference. Arnie received compliments from the therapists who felt "it was the best thing they have ever heard". The case conference brought everyone back to basics: supporting quaility patient outcomes, understanding the Medicare audit, and documentation tips. He was energetic, and individualized the case conference to meet the needs of each clinician - nurses and therapists alike."

"Arnie provided great insight into the strategies necessary to prepare for the future challenges we face in the Home Health industry. His presentation energized staff and opened the minds of our leaders to challenge their paradigms related to the delivery of home health care. The strategies Arnie brought to the table will enable the Agency to take a visionary approach to service delivery and put us in a place to be a bellwether to the industry. "

“St. Joseph Mercy Home Care developed a partnership with Arnie Cisneros of HHSM to implement necessary changes in our agency. The goals were to optimize therapy utilization, minimize downcodes, improve Home Care Compare scores and increase referrals. The cornerstone of their program is education and staff development regarding clinical analysis and case conference strategies. After 90 days, Home Care Compare scores improved and downcodes were reduced. At the same time, visit totals decreased while reimbursement ratios improved. These results have exceeded our expectations in terms of measurable progress towards the planned program objectives.”
