M1400 Improvement in Dyspnea is a high-impact quality measure used in both Star Ratings and HHVBP, yet clinicians often struggle with accurate assessment and documentation—leading to poor care planning, missed opportunities for improvement, and sometimes hospitalizations.

In this free webinar, we’ll explore how accurate scoring and strategic care planning can improve this outcome—and simultaneously reduce Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations, enhancing your performance across multiple quality measures. Attendees will learn the differences in how this measure is calculated across quality programs, and why risk adjustment and interdisciplinary engagement are critical to success. We’ll cover scoring tips, real-world documentation strategies and how to use dyspnea status to guide meaningful care interventions and support improved outcomes across your agency.
