Today, Homecare Homebase, LP announced the deployment of a powerful enhancement to their Knowledge Link Business Analyzer Module, part of the Homecare Connections™ suite of products. The newest functionality allows Homecare Homebase customers to quickly and accurately identify the effects of the proposed 2011 CMS Medicare reimbursement cuts well before they actually happen. Homecare Homebase is the first home health software provider to offer such critical insight to their users.
“With Knowledge Link we were able to model the effects of the 2008 reimbursement changes before they actually happened,” said Deryll Durr, Business Development Manager, Sta-home Health & Hospice, “and we have already begun to use the new model to gain a better understanding of the effects of the proposed 2011 changes. Knowledge Link allows us to not only see how changes will affect us, but also enable us to work more efficiently and effectively. Without this tool we could only speculate as to how next year would look under the proposed cuts.”

Knowledge Link, using the new Home Health PPS 2011 Model enhancement, enables Homecare Homebase customers to use actual data from episodes completed during the January – June 2010 time period to compare and model projected revenues based on the proposed 2011 reimbursement changes. By using their agency’s real data housed in their Homecare Homebase solution, customers can quickly access information that reflects their actual case mix giving them the utmost level of accuracy and a clearer picture of how the proposed cuts will affect their revenue next year.

“Homecare Homebase continues to provide tools that not only keep us ahead of coming regulatory changes, but also our competition,” said David Hagey, CFO, IntegraCare Home Health & Hospice, “and it’s always well in advance of the actual effective dates of any changes, giving us time to identify potential issues or areas for adjustment so we can make better business decisions and choose the right strategic direction for the future.”
“We designed the architecture of the Homecare Homebase solution to be flexible and adaptable in order to accommodate the constantly changing home healthcare landscape,” said Tom Maxwell, COO of Homecare Homebase. “It gives us the ability to quickly incorporate new regulatory and reimbursement changes and provide ROI-rich functionality that allows our customers to properly plan for the future and be as successful as possible.”
