Ohio Hospital Association WEBINAR: Achieving Cost Savings Through Post-Acute Network Care Collaboration

The key to any successful relationship requires that both parties prioritize transparency, trust, engagement, and collaboration. With hospitals spending 73 cents of every post-acute dollar in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), establishing a strong partnership between hospitals and their post-acute SNF networks is vital for hospitals.

For years there have been conflicting objectives between the two. CMS pushed hospitals to take more responsibility for the total cost of care, introducing value-based healthcare programs and readmission penalties. While SNFs inherently wanted longer Medicare lengths of stay as re-hospitalizations and the three-day rule led to higher SNF revenue – resulting in disparate strategies and excess spending. Until now that is.

With the recent launch of the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), SNFs are being incentivized to develop innovative strategies with their partner hospitals to meet the new mandates under PDPM, while finding ways to increase revenue. During this presentation, learn how PDPM is opening the doors for care collaboration and how your hospital can develop “win-win” strategies with your SNF network.

Learning Objectives

• Develop risk-sharing strategies with your SNF network
• Deploy your clinical standards across you post-acute SNF network
• Identify interventional moments to manage care collaboratively
• Initiate data-driven referral strategies with your SNF
