Quality Improvement Projects CMS has directed its
nationwide network of Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) to work collaboratively
with home health agencies in each state to implement the Outcome-Based
Quality Improvement (OBQI) system. The goal of the OBQI system is to use
OASIS-derived outcome information to improve patient care processes and
specific clinical outcomes. Northeast Health Care
Quality Foundation (NHCQF), the Medicare-contracted QIO for Maine, New
Hampshire, and Vermont, has provided formal and informal training sessions on
OBQI and will continue to provide ongoing technical support to home health
agencies in the tri-state area in this effort to improve care to home care
clients. NHCQF offers Home Health
OBQI Process guidance at no cost to agencies. We have trained 100% of the agencies in our tri-state area and have
worked with each agency on their plans to improve care in their selected
target outcomes. |
