From Risk to Reward: Mastering PPH to Drive Home Health Success

Webinar | March 4 | 60 Minutes | 1.0 CEU | $59

Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations (PPH) is shaking up the home health industry, replacing Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH) for star ratings in 2024 and becoming a cornerstone of Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) in 2025. Even more critical, PPH accounts for 26% of your Total Performance Score under HHVBP, making it a metric your agency must master to stay competitive. Yet, many organizations find themselves stuck—unsure of how PPH is calculated, confused by its risk adjustment model, and struggling to keep patients out of the hospital.

Join McBee experts Michelle Horner and Karen Tibbs as they simplify the complexities, reveal proven strategies to improve your outcomes, and help your agency turn PPH into a strength rather than a challenge.
