As our industry shifts towards value-based care, Skilled Nursing Facilities are struggling with staffing and referrals. While some providers close to all admissions amidst staffing struggles, others rush to increase census by targeting lower-level residents. The key to achieving success and sustainability can be found in adopting a strategic, balanced approach. You will explore customizable solutions through national and local trend analysis in conjunction with payment model dissection to understand ROI related to targeted acuity selection in the admission process. Research indicates residents with low acuity are moving towards home and community-based services while present SNF payment models are aligned with high acuity and complexity.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the financial impact of "heads in the bed" related to higher acuity and complexity of care management.
Identify the proper occupancy to fiscal balance for community success.
Discuss key strategies for changing the system in order to optimize revenues with a new outlook on admissions.
Leverage predictive analytics in order to alleviate staffing concerns and payment.
