Join us at The Annual Conference & Trade Show for two days of exceptional learning this September 15 & 16! Cindy Campbell RN, MHA Healthcare Informatics will hold a session entitled "The Innovative Leader – Differentiating Practice and Outcomes," where we'll explore how to manage through change, and come out ahead. Details & registration at https://ochch.org/annual-conference

Demography fuels the growth of healthcare at home, and its constricting workforce. Added regulatory, payor and public scrutiny consume the time, focus and energy of leadership teams, all while advances in machine learning and its application to healthcare at home are shifting how leaders best manage day to day clinical operations. Across the continuum of care at home, managing through change is made more effective by resting on foundational functional leadership concepts. Innovative clinical models can yield leadership time and sharpened focus, perfect for leaning into functional leadership approach. Join us to discuss how integrating machine learned data into long-standing theory can yield advocacy across all stakeholders, supporting top outcomes, growth, mission, and culture.

What makes the The Annual Conference & Trade Show a Pretty Darn Good Meeting? Lisa Selman-Holman with McBee presenting "PDGM Metrics: Connecting Functional Status, Comorbidities, and Financial Outcomes," that's what! Setting acronym-based puns aside, we know this session will be a winner for our attendees and hope you'll join us. Details & registration at https://ochch.org/annual-conference

The CY2025 Final Rule brought significant updates to the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), redefining how functional status, comorbidity levels, and coding impact agency reimbursement and financial outcomes. This session dives into these critical metrics, providing a clear understanding of how your OASIS answers and coding practices directly influence functional impairment levels, case-mix weights, and comorbidity adjustments. Attendees will gain the knowledge to adapt to changes in point values, comorbidity subgroups, and ICD-10 reassignments within the PDGM grouper. By mastering these updates, agencies can optimize financial performance and ensure compliance with evolving standards. This session equips home health professionals with actionable insights to navigate the evolving PDGM landscape, empowering them to align clinical documentation and coding with financial and regulatory success.

It's fair to say that Katie Gallenstein BSN, RN, HNB-BC puts her heart into everything she does, and her presentation at The Annual Conference & Trade Show is no exception. Be there for "Wholehearted Nursing: Holistic Strategies to Reconnect with Meaning" and rediscover why you do what you do for patients here in Ohio. Details & registration at https://ochch.org/annual-conference

In the fast-paced, task-driven healthcare environment, it’s easy for nurses and other healthcare professionals to lose sight of the deeper purpose behind their work, contributing to rising rates of burnout and compassion fatigue. Wholehearted Nursing: Holistic Strategies to Reconnect with Meaning offers an evidence-based exploration of holistic practices; such as mindfulness, active listening, values identification, healing touch, and nurse coaching, that re-center care around presence, connection, and purpose. Grounded in the principles of trauma-informed care, this session emphasizes emotional safety and self-regulation for both patients and providers. With a focus on nurses in the home setting but applicable across disciplines and environments, participants will gain practical tools to enhance therapeutic relationships, support their own well-being, and improve patient outcomes, all while rediscovering a renewed sense of meaning in their work.

Honestly, we don't need data to tell us that a presentation by Trella Health's Ben Fuller & Madison Burns will jump start your agency's sales team into high gear. Join us to learn from "Leveraging Market Intelligence and Collaboration for Referral Growth," one of the amazing breakout sessions at The Annual Conference & Trade Show this September 15 & 16!

In today’s dynamic home health and hospice landscape, traditional sales tactics are no longer enough. Success requires a data-driven approach that aligns clinical excellence with business development and strategic collaboration. This session explores how agencies can use market intelligence—such as referral patterns, payer mix, and clinical benchmarks—to sharpen growth strategies, target high-value referral sources, and improve competitive positioning. Attendees will learn how community liaisons and sales teams can translate data into action by communicating their agency’s unique strengths. Most importantly, this session will challenge the “us vs. them” mentality, highlighting how collaboration even among competitors can drive better outcomes for patients and strengthen the post-acute care continuum. Join us to discover how clinical, executive, and outreach leaders can unite around shared data to deliver smarter growth and stronger care.

Melinda Gaboury returns to the OCHCH Annual Conference & Trade Show to explain why The Home Health Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers & Systems is so important, and how you can improve. Details & registration at https://ochch.org/annual-conference

Patients are also customers, and their experience impacts the agency. The patient’s experience shapes what they tell their friends and family about their care as well as impacting agency star ratings and payment under HHVBP. While agencies focus efforts on quality programs, staffing, marketing and financial strategies with gains being realized and measured, they often struggle when it comes to approaches for improving patient experience ratings. This session will provide agencies with needed best practices for improving scores with patient experience.
