Since 2017, PTs and OTs in Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities have been required to collect data on functional status--data that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) use to publicly report on functional outcomes in these post-acute care settings. This data gives consumers and payers the ability to compare providers within and across settings, making the accurate collection and reporting of this data paramount.
In this recorded webinar, you'll walk away with the knowledge needed to ensure your processes for collecting and interpreting this data are both reliable and accurate. You'll learn to better understand the method that CMS uses to calculate the measures, how to read and interpret the report's results, key competencies that can affect outcomes, as well as important processes to ensure accuracy of data.
