To support home health agencies participating in the expanded Home Health Value0Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model, the HHVBP Technical Assistance team produced two expanded resources focused on quality measures and quality improvement in the expanded model. The on-demand video, Quality Measures Used in the Expanded HHVBP Model, provides measure-specific information on each of the quality measures included in the expanded Model.

The accompanying written resource, How to Use Existing Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Processes to Support Improvement in Expanded Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Model, provides a practical and visual guide to the quality improvement cycle as it relates to the HHVBP Expanded Model and overall quality improvement efforts. This resource also highlights data and reports currently available to home health agencies in iQIES and on the Care Compare website.

Both resources are designed to support providers as they prepare for the first performance year (calendar year 2023) of the expanded HHVBP Model. These resources, and others, are now available on the Expanded HHVBP Model webpage.
