Call for Speakers

Are you a home health coding or compliance expert with best practices to share? Have you lead a successful initiative to address a coding improvement or a compliance problem in your agency? Are you proud of your agency’s culture of compliance or coding accuracy and want to share your best practices? You’re invited to submit a speaker’s proposal for the Home Health Coding & Compliance Summit.

DecisionHealth is seeking home health professionals to present at the Home Health Coding & Compliance Summit Aug. 2-7, 2020 at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.

This conference will contain a multitude of sessions to help home health agencies continue to adapt their practices to thrive in the new world of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) as well as strategies for achieving the highest level of compliance. Each session will be packed with compelling, real-life examples of how home health agencies can streamline processes, improve coding accuracy, and ensure continued compliance despite nonstop regulatory changes.

We’re looking for home health agency executives and staff who specialize in compliance, coding and performance improvement in addition to consultants and attorneys to present on these topics. We seek professionals with direct experience and proven track records who can discuss in detail their recent successes and lessons learned.

Presentation subjects might include:

  • Develop a compliance program
  • Discharge planning
  • Compliant aide training
  • Establish staff buy-in for compliance efforts
  • Work effectively with managed care entities
  • Steer clear of CMS survey deficiencies
  • Maintain compliant data security
  • Case studies on how an agency uncovered non-compliance and corrected course
  • And more…

Selection criteria

Presentations should provide concrete solutions that attendees can adapt for use at their companies, as well as quantitative proof of how the solutions worked. Presentations also should demonstrate entire projects from inception to completion, or to the present day. When choosing speakers, we will consider the following criteria:

  1. No vague, sanitized presentations, please. Our attendees demand objectivity (both successes and setbacks addressed), facts, numbers, dollars saved/earned, mistakes made or avoided and lessons learned.
  2. Originality: We’re looking for fresh yet functional solutions to home health agency challenges, revealing real-world agency experiences.
  3. Practicality: We want sessions that speak to the immediate concerns of home health agency managers and administrators. You should offer usable strategies that attendees can take home and implement.
  4. Slides, overheads and handouts: We’ll give special attention to presentations supplemented by informative audio/visuals and information-packed handouts that attendees can take home with them.
