The M2020 Medication Question: Is Your Team Scoring What Really Matters?

Improvement in Management of Oral Medications, or M2020, is one of the most impactful—and often misunderstood—quality measures in home health. Accurate scoring requires more than documenting whether a patient takes medications. Clinicians must assess the patient’s ability to safely manage oral medications independently, understand the assistance required and capture changes in function throughout the episode of care. 

This webinar will take a deeper look at M2020: what it measures, why it matters and where agencies often run into challenges. Michelle Horner and Lisa Selman-Holman will break down M2020’s impact on Star Ratings and Home Health Value-Based Purchasing, common documentation pitfalls and practical ways agencies can use assessment strategies, quality data and performance analytics to identify opportunities for improvement.
