#HHRecharge PDGM Resources and showing value pre-PDGM Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

PDGM can be scary to some but therapists have a unique place in home health that can't be replaced. We need make sure that we understand the changes and how we can show our value for others to see it. In this podcast, hopefully I point out 5 skills that therapists can sharpen if needed to show to others how we bring value to the home health setting beyond just the number of visits. This hopefully ends on a high/positive note for you so that you know that home health therapy isn't going away and we play a vital part of keeping patients out of the hospital and improving quality of life.
