AHCA has a new webinar available titled
It's Called the Patient Driven Payment Model for a Reason focusing on various post-acute person-centered care planning models and issues. NAB has approved 1.25 CEs for this webinar upon successful completion of a short quiz at the end of the webinar.
In the Fiscal Year 2019 Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment System Final Rule and subsequent guidance, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) discussed the need for “holistic care planning” under the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM). Most research and policy on holistic care planning is associated with Medicaid-financed long-term care rather than Medicare-financed post-acute care. Of note, in the final Skilled Nursing Facility Requirements for Participation, CMS discusses a “comprehensive, person-centered care plan” indicating that CMS continues its focus on aligning payment policy with quality.
The learning objectives for this webinar are:
- Possible models for Post-Acute Care Comprehensive, Person-Centered Care Planning which also align with CMS’ vision for “holistic care planning.”
- Operational approaches for moving to and maintaining a day-to-day culture of person-center care delivery and quality measurement.
- The business case for person-centered care benefits for patients, staff, and providers.
