Case Study
Interventional Analytics in Skilled Nursing Facilities Associated with Reduced Readmissions
Published by The American Journal of Managed Care®
This study evaluates the impact of an interventional analytics (IA) platform on 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rates in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) affiliated with Penn Medicine’s Lancaster General Hospital (LGH). Using retrospective longitudinal data from CMS (2017–2022) and cross-sectional quality metrics, SNFs were grouped by location, referral relationship, and IA implementation status. Results showed that LGH-affiliated SNFs using IA had significantly lower readmission rates and better quality metrics compared to LGH SNFs without IA, other Pennsylvania SNFs, and national averages. The findings suggest that IA platforms may play a critical role in improving SNF performance and patient outcomes.
Key takeaways:
- Understand the role interventional analytics (IA) plays in reducing 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rates in skilled nursing facilities.
- Explore results of longitudinal readmission profile comparison across SNFs with varying affiliations and IA implementation statuses using CMS data.
- Evaluate the clinical significance of IA platform adoption through descriptive analysis of CMS quality metrics and multivariable modeling.
