Important Ways to Position Your Organization Competitively and Gain Referrals
Lisa Remington

and The Remington Report
The Remington Report identifies multiple ways for your organization to get positioned competitively and gain referrals with ACOs, physicians, hospitals and health systems, and bundled payments. The healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving, demanding new approaches to collaboration between referrals and home care providers.
Outcome-Based Relationships
The healthcare and home care landscapes are rapidly evolving, demanding new approaches to collaboration between health care and home care providers. Outcome-based relationships not only position your organization more favorably in the market but also foster trust, accountability, and a commitment to continuous improvement. See the article titled, “6 Ways to Develop Outcome-Based Relationships Between Physicians and Home Care.”
Bundled Payments: Competitive Positions
A new mandatory bundled payment model incorporates home care as an essential partner. The payment continues 30 days after discharge, holding participants accountable for all the costs of care for an episode. This incentivizes care coordination, improved patient care transitions, and decreases the risk of avoidable readmissions. Get the details in the article, “Bundled Payments: 7 Ways to Position Home Care Competitively.”
Aligning Quality Measures
A new hospital quality measure for senior care will address the most critical factors affecting the health outcomes of older adults. The measure evaluates five domains and incentivizes team-based care. Five important domains within this quality measure stimulate a collaborative relationship between hospitals and home care. Get more in the article, “2025 New Hospital Quality Measure For Senior Care.”
Readmission Rates
Competitively align with in-depth readmission data! Our article, “What are The Average 30-Day Readmission Rates Across U.S. Hospitals?,” breaks down readmission data related to average readmission rates, condition-specific readmission rates, and hospitals with high and low readmission rates.
By leveraging the strategies presented in the Remington Report, home care providers can significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance their competitive positioning in the healthcare market.
