Tips and Strategies for Transitioning to the Home Health Setting (Darby - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

Home health care is the fastest growing industry in the United States, based upon the projection period of 2014 to 2024. The anticipated growth in jobs for the time period is more than 760,000, projected to reach a total of more than 2 million (Henderson, 2015). The demand and competition for licensed rehabilitation therapists to work in home health care is, and will continue to be, great (AMN Healthcare, n.d.). This course is designed to provide a high-level introduction to providing therapy in the home health environment. With the impact of healthcare reform on setting utilization, we start with an overview of the various payment models and impact on care. The basic requirements of home health are reviewed including some payment pieces, as well as the therapy components and documentation requirements. The course ends with some clinical and logistical considerations of doing home health therapy.
