Your mission, should you choose to accept it…is to insure the survival of your home health and/or hospice agency despite decreasing reimbursement, increasing competition and intensive scrutiny.

Will your Agency be a Survivor?

Our Objectives

agency culture

Strategic Planning:A Roadmap to Success

• A necessary investment

• Allocate sufficient time, staff, resources

• Utilize a structured logical process

• Base the plan on solid objective information

• Without effective, complete Strategic Planning, your “mission” will lack focus, resources and is at high risk of failure.

Who’s on Your Team?

• Your Survivor Team – Board Members

• 1-2, Executive/Officers and 1 other “Subject Matter Expert” (Physician, Attorney, Finance)

– Senior Management• CEO/Clinical Administrator/CFO/HR

– Clinical Management• 1 Clinical Manager/Quality Manager

– Staff• 1 Nurse/1 Therapist/1-2 Aides/1-2 Administrative office staff

– Community • 2-3 Consumers (lay people and referral sources)

The Foundations of your Plan

• Financial/Demographic Data• Clinical Data• Cultural Assessment• Environmental Assessment

What is your “Survivor” goal?

• Do you intend to be the “last man standing”?• Will your agency be the one that others see as

their strong competitor?• Will you be the agency others want to merge

with?• Or will your agency be the most desirable

potential merger partner in your area?

The Roadmap

• Now that you have established the terms of your “mission”…..

• What are the three strategic goals that will accomplish it?– A financial goal provides the resources to do the work– A quality outcome goal insures you outperform the

competition and increases referrals– A compliance goal insures that you will remain in the

game– Goals need to be measurable, attainable, realistic

For example:

• A Financial goal: Positive growth in the financials with sufficient capitol to reinvest in technology and training for future needs.

• A Quality goal: Care Outcomes equal to or better than National benchmarks combined with positive HHCAHPS drives referrals

• A Compliance goal: Clean surveys insure smooth operations and no financial negative impacts.

“Its All About the Data”

• What do you need to know to accomplish these goals?

• How will you know if you have truly achieved them?

• Targeted tools will enable you to assess progress from beginning to “Mission Accomplished”

Strategies for Success

• Change is hard• No-I mean true sustained change is really

hard-but you can do it• The real question is: how do I succeed in

making positive change and keeping it going?• Strategies for success can be found in the

same tools we use with patients

Technically speaking….

• “Instill motivation” (the desire to do it)• “Rapid cycle incremental change” (small steps)• “Positive reinforcement” (the pat on the back)• “Frequent small wins” (keep it going)

but what does this really mean in your agency?

It means…..

• S M A R T goals are not just for care plans!• Specific: clear goals are articulated• Measurable: defined and objective targets• Attainable: realistic and acceptable to all• Relevant: each links back to the primary

“Mission”• Time Based: progressive linked acheivable

steps

The Trickle Down

S M A R T goals apply at all levels• Agency– Team• Discipline

– Individual staff

Success builds upward and promotes itself

What does a “Survivor” culture look like?

In a “Survivor” culture,

• Staff voices were and are being heard• Staff feel their actions make a difference• The urgency they feel is for the survival of the

agency• They are part of the process• The agency’s success is their success• Each small step in the right direction is

celebrated

Its not about

• Size• Unlimited financial resources• The latest technology• Flashy advertising• Promotional gimmicks or referral inducements

In a “Survivor” culture

• The agency is mission driven• The staff clearly understand the mission• They are all equally committed to the success

of the mission• They have the tools and the desire to

complete the mission• They share their mission success with

everyone

In a “Survivor” culture..

• Communication is the key• Data is shared• Training and support is available• The S M A R T goal is shared with everyone• Progress is tracked visibly in posters, charts,

stuffers• Success are rewarded

A “Real Life” Example

Once upon a time, not so long ago,…..

A small community based non-profit agency was acquired by a small community based hospital system.

Surrounded by 3 large hospital systems with large home health/hospice agencies and one large chain provider, survival was in doubt.

Their “Mission”?

Answering this question:

What next? Close? Be acquired by a larger system? Merge with another agency?

Or Thrive and grow?

The answer…

Over a period of time:-Annual Revenues grew from $1.5 to $9.8

million-Average Daily Census grew from 150 to 700-EMR/E-Patient Satisfaction fully

implemented-OBQI/OBQM scores achieved National

Benchmarks-Patient Satisfaction achieved the 95th%

Mission AccomplishedBut how?

• Strategic Planning:– Immediately and at 3 year intervals

• A Goal Driven Implementation Plan– Specific, objective, targeted– Identified teams and dates

• Full Staff Involvement– Everyone had a role to play-from Managers to billing to aides, even

the community volunteers• Open communications

– Posters, bulletin boards, frequent step achieved rewards– Internal and external publicity of goals met– Every success celebrated

Their Tool box

• A User Friendly EMR system• Fazzi Patient Satisfaction Survey system• Clinical/Financial Integration– Weekly Case Management Teams with Fiscal input

• An OASIS Scrubber (integrated into the EMR)– Staff/Team and Agency level performance goals

• Monthly CASPER reports– Reviewed at Clinical Staff and Management levels

• Intense Focus on communications/rewards

Sssh…..its a secret…..

Who was that agency and where are they now?

It was my agency…and today, they continue to thrive….and survive.

They accepted the mission.

WILL YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THE MISSION?

Can you bring together the right tools, the right information and the courage to use them?

Will your agency “outperform” your competitors?Will your agency “outsmart” the others?Will your agency “:outlast” the others?

Will your team be:THE SURVIVOR?
