1 Data Standardization: Looking Forward in Post-Acute Care Stella Mandl, RN Technical Advisor Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
2 As Is T ransit io n To Be Nursing Homes MDS LTCHS LTCH CARE Data Set As Is: Multiple Incompatible Data Sources Inpatient Rehab Facilities IRF-PAI Home Health Agencies OASIS Hospitals No Standard Data Set Physicians No Standard Data Set Outpatient Settings No Standard Data Set GOAL: Uniform Data Elements Across Providers Standardized Nationally Vetted To Be: Uniform Assessment Data Elements Enable Use/re-use of Data Exchange Patient-Centered Health Info Promote High Quality Care Support Care Transitions Reduce Burden Expand QM Automation Support Survey & Certification Process Generate CMS Payment 2
3 Standardized Assessment Data Collection Vehicles Minimum Data Set (MDS) Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF PAI) Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) Long-term Care Hospital Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation Data Set (LTCH CARE Data Set) Hospice Item Set (HIS) 3
4 MDS Section 1819 of the 1983 Social Security Act (42 U.S.C and 1395hh) Specify a minimum data set of core elements and common definitions for use by nursing facilities in conducting the assessments required under subsection (b)(3), and establish guidelines for utilization of the data set; The Federal Nursing Home Reform Act from the 1987 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) creates a set of national minimum set of standards of care and rights for people living in certified nursing facilities. 4
5 OASIS The home health Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) collection regulations (1999 HCFA-3007-F) and (1999 HCFA IFC) announced the effective date for the mandatory use, collection, encoding, and transmission of OASIS data for all Medicare/Medicaid patients receiving home health skilled services 5
6 IRF PAI Section 4421 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law ), as amended by section 125 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (Public Law ), and by section 305 of the BIPA: Authorizes the implementation of a per discharge prospective payment system (PPS), through section 1886(j) of the Social Security Act, for inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation units - referred to as inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). The IRF PPS will utilize information from a patient assessment instrument (IRF PAI) to classify patients into distinct groups based on clinical characteristics and expected resource needs. Separate payments are calculated for each group, including the application of case and facility level adjustments. 6
7 LTCH CARE Data Set In accordance with section 1886(m)(5) of the Act, as added by section 3004(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Secretary established the Long-Term Care Hospital Quality Reporting (LTCHQR) Program. LTCH CARE Data Set used for electronic submission to CMS standardized assessment data elements Hybrid of Best in Class uniform data elements from the MDS version 3.0 and the Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation (CARE) Tool Implemented on October 1,
8 CARE: Background 2000: Benefits Improvement & Protection Act (BIPA) mandated standardized assessment items across the Medicare program, to supersede current items 2005: Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) Mandated the use of standardized assessments across acute and post-acute settings Established Post-Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration (PAC-PRD) which included a component testing the reliability of the standardized items when used in each Medicare setting 2006: Post-Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration requirement: Data to meet federal HIT interoperability standards 8
9 CARE: Concepts Guiding Principles and Goals: Assessment Data is: Standardized Reusable Informative Communicates in the same information across settings Ensures data transferability forward and backward allowing for interoperability Standardization: Reduces provider burden Increases reliability and validity Offers meaningful application to providers Facilitates patient centered care, care coordination, improved outcomes, and efficiency Fosters seamless care transitions Evaluates outcomes for patients that traverse settings Allows for measures to follow the patient Assesses quality across settings, and Inform payment modeling 9
10 Future State: Data Standardization Facilitates achievement of the National Quality Strategy Six Priorities, and the Three Part Aim better care, better health, cost savings Facilitates an ability to evaluate the impact/quality related to transitions in care acute, post acute, LTC, long-term services & community Standardizes communication across providers, service systems Evaluate outcomes across service delivery systems 10
11 Building the Future State Assessment Instrument/Data Sets: use of uniform and standardized items Measures harmonized at the Data Element level Providers/vendors have public access to standards Data Elements are easily available with national standards to support PAC health information technology (IT) and care communication Transfer of Care Documents are able to incorporate uniform Data Elements used in PAC settings, if desired Measures can evaluate quality outcomes across multiple settings Measures can follow the person 11
12 Keeping in Mind, the Ideal State Facilities are able to transmit electronic and interoperable Documents and Data Elements Provides convergence in language/terminology Data Elements used are clinically relevant Care is coordinated using meaningful information that is spoken and understood by all Measures can evaluate quality across settings and evaluate intermittent and long term outcomes Measures follow the person Incorporates needs beyond healthcare system 12
