The Commitment to Care: Quality Topic of the Month is a SPECIAL EDITION for April!THCA members need to be aware of the increasing importance of their rehospitalization rates. Dr. David Gifford, Sr. Vice President of Quality and Regulatory, AHCA, said “It is critical that AHCA members recognize that CMS will link as much as 2% of a SNFs Part A payment to their rehospitalization rates. SNFs in the bottom 40% nationally are at risk of losing 2%. AHCA estimates that this equates to having a risk adjusted rehospitalization rate over 18% on the AHCA PointRight Pro 30 rehospitalization measure, available to all AHCA members in LTC Trend Tracker. The time to change and create the necessary improvements within your organization is NOW!” Please click HERE to go to the C to C article to make sure that you have the scoop! |
