Reducing Fall Risk to Prevent Rehospitalization and Emergency Department Visits

Falls are one of the most prevalent events contributing to rehospitalizations, and are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injury in older adults. By reducing fall-related events, home health agencies can demonstrate their ability to deliver high-quality care, promote patient safety, and effectively manage patients' health conditions. This positively impacts their overall quality performance scores, which, in turn, influence their reimbursement rates and reputation.

With 2023 the first performance year measured under HHVBP, it’s especially important for agencies to optimize performance in key assessment areas and set an improved performance-year baseline.
