Work in postacute care? The US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) wants you to know that it’s changing the way it collects data used in quality measures of PAC settings, and will be providing a recording and transcriptions of a forum it held on February 25.
The special Open Door Forum sponsored by CMS provided information on the standardized data and assessment domains now required under the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act). The new standardized submission requirements affect long-term care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
