[Free Webinar] HHVBP: The Score Is Just the Start
Finding the Path from Performance to Improvement
The July Interim Performance Reports (IPRs) provide home health agencies with an early look at how they're performing under the HHVBP Model, but simply reviewing the scores isn't enough. The real value comes from understanding what the numbers mean, what is driving your performance and where to focus improvement efforts before payment adjustments are finalized.
Join Michelle Horner for this educational webinar as she breaks down the 2026 HHVBP Interim Performance Report (IPR), Achievement Performance Report (APR) and Total Performance Score (TPS). You'll learn how CMS calculates achievement points, improvement points payment adjustments, how to interpret your reports and the key differences between the 2025 and 2026 reporting periods.
The session will also explore how patient-level and measure-level analytics can help agencies move beyond simply reviewing reports to identifying opportunities, prioritizing quality initiatives and taking action sooner. Learn how deeper insights into your data can support clinician education, Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) and stronger HHVBP outcomes.
