Session Description: Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) based sub-acute rehabilitation is the most common inpatient rehabilitation level of care for Americans
today. Yet physiatrists often do not contribute to the coordination of their care or help assure a good rehabilitation outcome for many
patients in the SNF. This is due to the historical lack of physiatry presence in the SNF level of care. However, physiatrists find
practicing in the SNF level of inpatient rehab care to be highly rewarding. In the didactic sessions we will discuss common pitfalls and best practices in SNF practice. We will review interesting case studies, role of telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, billing and CMS regulations. There will be a panel discussion as well as time for Q&A with the member community.
