  About PATIENT CARE

  What is this page all about?

Below is everything shred of information that we can find about PATIENT CARE, along with our best effort to make sense of the data. Our purpose here is to help you to make good decisions when picking a home health care agency and to keep you informed once you have chosen one. We know from personal experience that choosing a home health care agency is not something you do once and then you forget about it. When you choose a home health care agency, it is important to be aware of any changes, good or bad, so that you can stay as comfortable as possible. Changes in the agency, the people who work there, or the patients can all affect your care.

  General Information on PATIENT CARE

  DTC Performance for PATIENT CARE

The DTC-PAC measures assess successful discharge to the community from a PAC setting, with successful discharge to the community including no unplanned rehospitalizations and no death in the 31 days following discharge. Specifically, these measures report a provider’s riskstandardized rate of Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients/residents who are discharged to the community following a PAC stay, and do not have an unplanned readmission to an acute care hospital or LTCH in the 31 days following discharge to community, and who remain alive during the 31 days following discharge to community. Community, for this measure, is defined as home or self care, with or without home health services, based on Patient Discharge Status Codes 01, 06, 81, and 86 on the Medicare FFS claim. A statistical approach is used to calculate confidence intervals for the provider’s DTC rate. These confidence intervals are then compared to the national observed DTC rate to assign providers to performance categories for public reporting. The performance categories are (i) better than the national rate, (ii) no different from the national rate, and (iii) worse than the national rate.

  Performance Measures for PATIENT CARE

All of the measures included in HHC are proportions that show what percentage of patients or episodes experienced the process or outcome being measured. For all measures, except acute care hospitalization, a higher measure value means a better score.

Process of care measures tell you how often an agency gave the recommended care (like checking patients for depression when they start getting care). A score of 88% for a process of care measure is interpreted as 88% of the patients received the recommended care during their episode of care.
