Change is coming and its coming at a rapid pace. Health Care Reform is reshaping the future for health care professionals. The new health care legislation will fashion our health care industry. Medicare and Medicaid programs will undergo a major overhaul. The legislation will reshape the way hospitals, post acute facilities, physicians, and insurers do business. As health care providers we must monitor and stay observant and proactive with strategies and information as it applies to our entities. By doing so we as health care providers can prepare to make this legislation our friend and not our foe. Read more on Page 2.

3 Page 2 Ergo Solutions Newsletter Preparing for Change Change is coming and its coming at a fast pace. We must stay alert, observant, and proactive in regards to our health care professions and the shaping that s taking place. Since the late 1990 s rehabilitation professionals working in post acute have witnessed patients move across an ever changing continuum of care. Health Care Reform will introduce a new form of partnership between hospitals and post acute facilities called patient bundling. Post acute facilities will be faced with increasing levels of competition to establish/re-establish relationships with acute care settings. The life blood of post acute facilities are hospital referrals (Bailey, Susan CEO of SHW- Capitol Hill). In the wake of these changes post acute facilities must prepare for the best outcomes for survival. Long Term Acute Care Hospitals LTACHs LTACHS will play a vital role in in the post acute continuum of care.. LTACHS will continue to provide a safety net for post continuum of care for acute and SNF settings. Though the 25 day average length of stay may be affected by legislation, the quality of Care and financial benefits will arise for partnerships between acute and LTACH settings where there is high level of synergy. The goal to aim for is pure excellence and quality care. Skilled Nursing Facilities SNFs Quality of Practice will be reflected by cost effectiveness and outcomes according to Health Care Reform standards. SNF professionals must remain at a competitive edge. Establishing a network that caters to acute care standards and facilitates safe discharge to avoid hospital readmissions. Improving community based transitions for long term care residents will also serve as a new quality of practice. The top priority will be as always, maximizing function. Outcome measures will serve as vital indicators for quality performance in both LTACH and SNF settings. Preparing for Change cont d Patient bundling is designed to employ the hospital (banker) as an intermediate to guarantee full return on the investment. Post Acute Rehab More now than ever before, the rehabilitation professionals input will be of much importance, Acute and post acute care administrative teams will depend on rehab professionals to guide these discharge transitions, prevent patient declines to deter hospital readmissions, and monitor outcomes such as ADLs and functional levels. Currently acute rehabilitation settings measure admission/ discharge outcomes using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Given the demands of HCR post acute providers will have to also include and demonstrate cost effectiveness and progress using outcome metrics. Change is coming and its coming at a fast pace. We must stay alert, observant, and proactive in regards to our health care professions and the shaping that s taking place. Suggested Strategies are: Improve Quality & Safety Improve Patient Tracking Improve Collaboration & Development of Standardized and Universal Outcome Metrics for Post Acute Settings Improve Input with Admissions Processes and Patient Criteria for Admissions Establish safe discharge protocols & Follow up programs The Patient Bundling Effect Hospitals will receive bundled payments that cover not just the patient s hospitalization but the care from post-acute providers 30 days after the hospitalization. Hospitals with high readmission rates will be paid less if patients are readmitted within a 30 day period. CMS will have the authority to allow other legal entities to receive bundled payments such as post acute care providers as long as the hospital is involved. Post acute providers that wish to take the lead in maximizing their benefits should begin with establishing relationships with hospitals, decreasing unnecessary readmissions to hospitals, and managing more effectively in their own setting. This will require greater on site presence of physicians and nurse practioners as well as highly qualified nursing staff. Patient bundling is designed to employ the hospital (banker) as an intermediate to guarantee full return on the investment. Patient Bundling, if utilized properly will assist in improving quality of care, save costs for Medicaid and Medicare, and improve the way facilities monitor and utilize resources in an effective manner. In the near future patient bundling will surface as our friend or foe. Post acute settings hold the key to the outcome.
