TOPIC:
Skilled Nursing Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP)
The IMPACT Act of 2014 requires the Secretary to implement specified clinical assessment domains using standardized (uniform) data elements to be nested within the assessment instruments currently required for submission by LTCH, IRF, SNF, and HHA providers. The Act further requires that CMS develop and implement quality measures from five quality measure domains using standardized assessment data. In addition, the Act requires the development and reporting of measures pertaining to resource use, hospitalization, and discharge to the community. Through the use of standardized quality measures and standardized data, the intent of the Act, among other obligations, is to enable interoperability and access to longitudinal information for such providers to facilitate coordinated care, improved outcomes, and overall quality comparisons. Even though the Act has been in place since 2014, many do not understand all aspects of the information nor how to read and interpret the reports. This is of even more critical import as the data is being published on Nursing Home Compare since October 2018. By attending this webinar presented by Julie Smith and Barbara Stedelberger of Peace Church, a compliance consulting firm, you will leave with a better understanding of how to access, read and interpret the reports and the MDS information which impacts the reports.
