Summary:
Medical Review has significantly increased in recent months. One of the main issues driving denials is the lack of consistency in documentation between therapy and nursing. This presentation will review the five major areas of “skilling” criteria with a goal of improving daily skilled nursing documentation. This workshop is critical and timely in making sure that your staff is supporting the resident’s skilled stay in the facility. Attendees will be able to apply the nursing/facility process to quality improvement and improve skilled documentation. Now, the next step is the addition of the RAC (Recovery Audit Contractors) to assess the additional scrutiny to the reimbursement practices of the facility.
Objective:
-Participants will be able to define “Skilled Care”, “Skilled services” and who is Responsible
-Participants will review the “Hot spots of Medicare Denials”
-Participants will participate in methods to improve Medicare charting
Recommended Audience: Administration & Nurses
