We encourage SNFs to invest in a strategic work plan and be
focused on the following core competencies:
• Delivery on high quality outcomes with proactive
Partner with a therapy provider who
is accustomed to monitoring outcomes
case management & evidence-based therapy pathways
and subsequently reconciling therapy

“Documentation ReDesign” focus
programming in order to meet/exceed
• Plan for coding accuracy with refined workflow,
documentation & targeted training
and functional outcome expectations.
• Nimble care coordination with up/downstream
partners and with niche programs and clinical protocols/pathways
LOS
How to ensure flawless execution on the above core competencies will be the
key to successfully navigating the transition to PDPM and not only surviving,
but thriving! In a world where reimbursement will be determined by how
patients are cared for, know that the ability to track and analyze outcomes will
be critical. Partner with a therapy provider who is accustomed to monitoring
outcomes and subsequently reconciling therapy programming in order to
meet/exceed LOS and functional outcome expectations. The ability to capture
outcomes and refine programming as needed is an invaluable contribution to
the overall success of any skilled nursing setting and is easily driven by a savvy
therapy provider.
