How to Register

Home health agencies can begin to register for the Home Health Quality Improvement (HHQI) National Campaign on January 11, 2007. Agencies that register will receive free monthly best practice intervention packages that include educational tools and resources, guidelines, success stories and best practice education that may be selected for use to assist agencies to reduce avoidable hospitalizations. Additionally, registered agencies will receive monthly reports including actual and risk-adjusted monthly Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH) rates, along with some characteristics of hospitalized patients.

To register, follow these few steps:

1) Visit www.homehealthquality.org
2) Click on “Home Health Agency Registration.”
3) Fill out the form on the Web site – you will need your six-digit Medicare provider
number when you register.
4) Click “Submit.”

Your agency will receive an electronic welcome package within two to three weeks from
registration. The welcome package will include an informational letter, the exclusive
HHQI logo and a certificate of participation. Your first intervention package will arrive
in March 2007.

If you encounter technical problems while registering, please contact the HHQI
National Campaign Web site administrator, Laura Dugan, at ldugan@wvmi.org.

If you have questions about registering, contact GMCF, GAHHA or Karen Michael at kmichael@wvmi.org.
