Addressing Quality Measures: QRP Changes and Audits

Addressing Quality Measures: QRP Changes and Audits, presented on Oct 24th; 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. (eastern time).

This live webinar will be provided in partnership with NJHA. Skilled nursing facilities are about to experience – as of Oct. 1 — the most substantive changes to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) since its original inception in 1988. MDS is the underpinning of care planning, Medicare payment and quality measurement. So, it’s critical that SNFs are well-prepared for the impact of these changes.

The Quality Reporting Program is likely to affect Medicare payments in new and different ways moving into the future. We will also review the outcome of CMS’ focused audits on the use of antipsychotic medications in SNFs.

Objectives for this presentation include:

• Summarize the quality measures and quality reporting program (QRP) changes as they relate to the delivery of care and reimbursement.

• Describe the CMS initiative for schizophrenia MDS audits, the rationale for the audits and the consequences of failing the audits.
• List the steps to prepare for a schizophrenia audit, immediate action for proceeding or signing the attestation to forego the audit if you are chosen, and time frames.
