Sharing is Caring: Winning With Interoperability
Presenters: Donna Barnard, MBA, RHIA and Kelly Featherly, RHIA; University of Rochester Medical Center
Despite the majority of health care being managed through electronic medical record systems, there’s still no panacea for delivering perfectly correlated information between disparate EMRs. We will look at the ways of sharing patient information among disparate systems and the challenges and opportunities to improve these processes going forward through interoperability.
An overview of how hospitals utilize data from various quality reporting programs to analyze areas of opportunity and help drive quality initiatives and strategies.
On October 1, 2018, CMS transitioned from Resource Utilization Groups IV as the payment hierarchy to the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM). The new system utilizes 5 ‘buckets’ rather than a single bucket (as in RUGs) to determine payment for a resident’s Medicare stay in a skilled nursing facility. This system also directly uses ICD-10-CM coding as part of the payment calculation, placing greater emphasis on coding education in the long-term care sector. By attending this session you will attain a better understanding in how the CMI is calculated, how the codes impact this determination, what place the function score has in the calculation and the duration of the payment.
Note: This session runs from 2:45-4:30
