Home Health Agencies
The Home Health Quality Improvement National Campaign 2007 was an unprecedented national initiative supported by key home health stakeholders, who sought to improve patient quality of care by reducing avoidable hospitalizations in the home care setting, while improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.
HHQI Monthly Reports
Individual agency reports were provided exclusively to registered participants. These reports included actual and risk-adjusted acute care hospitalization rates. National and statewide ACH benchmarking based on CMS data was also provided monthly.
Home health agencies (HHAs) were encouraged to participate in the HHQI National Campaign to optimize clinical performance with free tools, resources, guidelines, success stories, best practice education materials, networking opportunities and benchmarking data. The campaign was designed to help agencies improve their acute care hospitalization (ACH) rate or sustain an exemplary ACH rate through monthly best practice intervention packages.
The monthly best practice interventions were designed to be flexible and to complement an agency’s current quality improvement work. HHAs can select interventions and tools that best meet their needs.
Participating HHAs also received a “seal of recognition” HHQI logo to showcase their quality improvement commitment.
