Navigating the Perfect Storm: Strategies for RUG IV
We are about to experience the most significant challenge facing long-term care since OBRA ’87. Metaphorically it is the “Perfect Storm” with health care reform, MDS 3.0 and RUG IV implementation October 2010. Ultimately providers need to determine how to provide quality care within these emerging systems. This session will focus on Medicare reimbursement and identify the key differences between the RUG III and RUG IV models, and analyze how these changes impact operations. Case studies will illustrate strategies that achieve clinical, operational and financial goals within the RUG IV model.
Learning Objectives:
Identify four major shifts in Medicare reimbursement
Explain the predicted impact of the RUG IV changes as they relate to therapy delivery and resident case mix
Identify three operational strategies for successful management and prediction of future reimbursement
