Homecare Agencies Overview


To improve the quality of care and patient outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries receiving homecare services, CIMRO of Nebraska assists agencies in the successful implementation of continuous quality improvement processes based on the Home Health Outcome-Based Quality Improvement (OBQI) System. 

CIMRO of Nebraska is partnering with homecare agencies in Nebraska to:

  • reduce the incidence of unnecessary Acute Care Hospitalizations (ACH) for patients receiving home healthcare   
  • reduce the frequency with which pain interferes with a patient's activities or movement
  • improve clinical outcomes for other publicly reported measures
  • incorporate assessment of influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations into comprehensive patient assessment

CIMRO of Nebraska also supports homecare agencies in the adoption and use of telehealth technology and in developing methods to improve organizational culture.
