How have we engaged our partner SNFs? Conduct quarterly engagement meetings at each Hospital Developed educational brochures for patients and SNF capabilities grid for MLH staff Enhanced nurse-to-nurse hand-offs Decreased elective joints going to SNFs Monitoring readmissions from SNFs Working with DVACO Developed SNF Quality Rating Model What are we working towards? Quality and Collaboration Change the culture for care management, therapy and patients using specific criteria to determine most appropriate post-acute level of care Increase quality together through: SNF ambassador program Physician engagement focus on Medical Directors Physician, employee, caregiver, and patient education Domains for SNF Quality Rating Readmissions ACO (probably only this) MLH Rating (Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Compare) Overall Rating Staffing Rating Physician Services Physician Weekend Visits Averages number of Days to Initial PCP Visit Quality Metrics (SNF Compare) % of Long Stay Residents With a Urinary Tract Infection % of Long Stay Residents Experiencing One or More Falls with Major Injury % of Short Stay Residents Who Self Report Moderate to Severe Pain % of Short Stay Residents With Pressure Ulcers That Are New or Worsened % of Short Stay Residents Who Newly Received an Antipsychotic Medication Average Length of Stay (LOS) Snapshot of SNF Quality Rating Dashboard
