Relates to establishing a program of health care quality innovation and improvement through home care

This bill creates a state-funded program to improve healthcare quality in home care settings. It provides grants or supplemental payments to certified home health agencies, long-term home care programs, and managed care plans that partner with home care providers. The program supports specific quality improvements like falls prevention, care coordination with hospitals, technology integration for better patient monitoring, staff training, and evidence-based practices. These initiatives aim to enhance patient outcomes, reduce health disparities, and align home care with broader healthcare systems. The program requires the health commissioner to establish application and scoring processes with input from home care providers and managed care plans.
