PDGM – National Summits

The PDGM 2020 National Summits Are Now the PDGM 2020 Virtual Summits!
Key Insights, Best Practices & Lessons Learned

Intensive, Full-Day Educational Summits

April 28 & April 29, 2020 | VIRTUAL

Last year, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) provided thousands of home health leaders across the country with the knowledge they needed to ensure their agencies made a smooth transition to the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), the biggest change to home health payment in the 21^st century.

With PDGM now impacting agencies, NAHC has once again assembled a team of experts focus on lessons learned; what’s working or not working and what some agencies are doing to thrive and how others can learn from them.

“PDGM is the largest change to Home Health Medicare reimbursement since the implementation of the Prospective Payment System. I have been involved with home health since the Medicare benefit was implemented, and have seen all the changes from cost based, to Limits, to PPS, and now PDGM. With Medicare being the primary payer for home health, it is imperative that agencies understand PDGM, how it will affect their operations, and to be fully prepared for PDGM on January 1, 2020. As many non-Medicare payers have adopted Medicare changes, agencies should also be aware that PDGM may eventually be used by other payers.” - Tom Keyer, Manager of Health Care, Mueller Prost
“The PDGM National Summits bring together a treasure trove of national advocates, leaders and experts to help every Medicare Home Health Agency determine the impact of the new payment model and develop a solid plan for a winning transition. Dedicated and diverse teams will deliver 12 programs strategically located to ensure that all providers can gain insights and receive the tools needed for their success story after PDGM implementation. The Simione team is very excited to be a part of this national tour to deliver a valuable, one-stop crash course for all – from single agencies to multi-site operations and networks – that covers clinical services, financial management , operations, data analytics, technology and change management.” - Bill Simione, Managing Principal, Simione Healthcare Consultants
“The first step in preparation is education – you won’t find a more robust and comprehensive PDGM education program than this one.” - Nick Seabrook, Managing Principal - Founder, BlackTree Healthcare Consulting
“The PDGM National Summits is a can’t-miss event. Key industry leaders have come together to prepare home health agencies to be ready to embark on the changes related to the PDGM system. Given the critical nature of the changes under PDGM as well as the expertise of the panel of presenters, you should make plans to attend a session near you.” - Mike Dordick, President, McBee Associates
"The evolution to PDGM will be easier for those with a clear roadmap for the next year and, a commitment to leading the change with inspiration alongside a team of committed change leaders." - Gina Mazza BSN, RN, CPHQ, Senior Vice President, Fazzi Associates
