w2-PHS-022315-VBP-Basketball-iconMedicare’s VBP approach is now targeting skilled nursing facilities. To protect your facility’s reimbursement rate, your staff must focus on good transitions out of post-acute to ensure there are no unnecessary readmissions within 30 days.

Achieve organizational success with these team-based strategies for maneuvering QM:

– Ensure your staff has access to the VBP resources needed.

– Review the list of QM and instill standardized verbiage throughout your facility.

– Start a defined process for collecting and tracking data.

– Assign leaders to share the data with the entire staff and present correlations to clinical competencies.

– Investigate where your facility is falling short on QM and prepare for operational changes.
