"Now is the time to dig into the proposed PDGM model, identifying key drivers for your success in 2020. Evaluating your financial net impact is one thing – knowing what to do about it is another! Preparing your operations and clinical modeling now will be key to your success under the PDGM. As an industry, we concurrently are moving toward escalating Value Based Payment at the same time. Learning how to optimize quality at the lowest cost will be crucial for success within the PDGM payment reform as well as advancing population health initiatives." -- Cindy Campbell RN, BSN, MHA - Healthcare Informatics, COQS, Director Operational Consulting, Fazzi, Inc.

These events are a rare opportunity to learn how to leverage our relationships to maximize your PDGM implementation success.” - Neal Reizer, Senior Vice President of Product Management, Homecare Homebase
