2025 is set to be a year of major changes in the Home Health arena. This session will provide a detailed review of the 2025 Final Rule in Home Health.

HHQRP and the CoP Updates from the Final Rule
12:30 pm – 1:45 pm CST
Speaker: Jennifer Osburn, RN, HCS-D, COS-C
The 2025 Final Rule included several elements related to patient safety and transparency. One such safety related change is a new Condition of Participation which entails the development and implementation of a patient “Acceptance-to-Service” policy. This session will cover the required elements of this new standard and what your surveyor will be looking for. Additionally, an overview of the 2025 Home Health Quality Reporting Program measures will be discussed so that you are prepared for success as your agency’s data is exposed to CMS, your competitors, and the public this year and beyond.
OASIS-E1 Updates
2:00 pm – 3:15 pm CST
Speaker: Jennifer Osburn, RN, HCS-D, COS-C
This session will cover the new item, deleted items, and those revised in OASIS-E1. OASIS data is tied to PDGM payment, Quality Reporting, Care Compare, and Home Health Value Based Purchasing, and several changes were included in these programs for 2025. In this session we will also discuss 2025 changes to the OASIS measures which count for 35% of your total HHVBP score. Whether you have years of experience with OASIS or are brand new to it, the complexity of this data collection tool means there is always something else to be learned about successful collection and use of OASIS data.
