Performance Advisors is a specialized health care consulting service that helps you understand and improve your outcomes. Our experts work with you to capture and benchmark key data to reveal opportunities to improve quality of care, financial performance and business operations.

The amount of data that home health agencies deal with every day can be overwhelming: assessment accuracy, outcomes, diagnosis codes, HHRGs, reports, RAPs, therapies. The decisions you make based on this data can affect state and federal regulatory compliance, fiscal intermediary audits, clinical practice, processes, outcomes, employees, patient/client care and financial performance.

Inaccurate data costs time, resources, quality outcomes, referrals and revenue. It can cause false outcomes that affect how you are reimbursed, evaluated and audited. It can affect the quality of your outcomes and the way you benchmark performance and practice. Data can also be compromised from inaccuracies in coding and documentation, multiple staff input or tools used to gather information. Compromised data affects your business line profitability.

Accurate, real-time data is vital to successful decision-making. The HSS Performance Advisors service works with you to ensure the accuracy of your data and turn it into information you can use to improve your clinical, operational and financial outcomes. Using Analyzer as the backbone of the service, our health care business analysts provide guidance and support to successfully prepare you for Pay-for-Performance, Home Health Compare, audits and OBQI Guidelines. Our solutions utilize your own data as a benchmark for improvement.

We work with you to develop a customized information pathway with data captured and benchmarked from your agency. We summarize your information pathways, identify variations across your business, drill down to find specific causes, and help you develop proven business strategies that improve performance, drive compliance and reduce risk.
