MDS Impact: PDPM, Medicare Revenue, QRP
July 23 from 10-11:30am (EST)
1.5 Hour Program (CEUs available!)
Instructor: Sarah Ragone, MSPT, RAC-CTA, QCP, Vice President of Clinical Reimbursement / Education & Training
As Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) persist with finetuning nuances of the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) that drives Medicare Part A reimbursement, CMS continues to strengthen their associations between finance, regulation and quality of care.
Many publicly reported quality measure outcomes are directly connected to the MDS process. Therefore, utilizing the “all hands-on deck” approach to success is essential for ensuring revenue, as well as high quality outcomes. This program will summarize strategies for MDS accuracy from an IDT approach, identify common pitfalls and strategies to avoid audit issues, and review opportunities for successful Quality Reporting Program (QRP) outcomes moving forward.
Program participants will:
- Understand the connections between PDPM, Medicare revenue and the Quality Reporting Program (QRP).
- Identify trends and common coding pitfalls, as well as strategies to avoid them in day-to-day operations.
- Discuss an effective team approach to MDS data collection that will help your facility maintain compliance with the ever-changing requirements of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI).
- Review components of the Quality Reporting Program (QRP) and identify processes for successful management and monitoring of that program.
Developing Operational Strategy: Leveraging the Outcomes That Threaten Your Reimbursement
July 30 from 10-11:30am (EST)
1.5 Hour Program (CEUs available!)
Instructor: Sarah Ragone, MSPT, RAC-CTA, QCP, Vice President of Clinical Reimbursement / Education & Training
The Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) reimbursement system is secondary to the impact the continuing CMS pay-for-performance measures can have on your reimbursement. This session will bring clarity to the cloud of acronyms that threaten your reimbursement (i.e., QRP and VBP), review future measures, and demonstrate the critical role these programs play in strategic planning. This is a great stand-alone program as well as an excellent follow up to “MDS Impact: PDPM, Medicare Revenue, QRP” scheduled for July 23.
Utilizing a systematic performance improvement model to enhance the strategic planning process, program participants will learn key approaches to improve performance, which will in turn improve their organization’s position in the marketplace.
Program participants will:
- Discuss key elements of strategic planning.
- Review the components of the Quality Reporting Program (QRP) and Value Based Purchasing Program (VBP).
- Identify processes for successful management and monitoring of these measures.
- Discuss an organized and systematic approach to data utilization, data collection, QAPI and sustainable performance.
- Identify how to use these outcomes to maximize internal strategic planning.
