SNF QRP FY2020 Quality Reporting Program
New QRP s 5 New QRP s added, data collection to begin October 1, 2018 for FY2020 Drug Regimen Review Conducted with Follow-Up for Identified Issues Change in Self-Care Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients Change in Mobility Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients Discharge Self-Care Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients Discharge Mobility Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients Changes in Skin Integrity Post-Acute Care: Pressure Ulcer/Injury (Previously Pressure Ulcer Worsening)
SNF QRP Changes in Skin Integrity Post-Acute Care: Pressure Ulcer/Injury SNF QRP uses only the Part A PPS Discharge MDS to calculate the measure The measure will be calculated quarterly using a rolling 12 months of data All Medicare Part A SNF stays, except those that meet the exclusion criteria, during the 12 months are included in the denominator and are eligible for inclusion in the numerator For residents with multiple stays during the 12 month time window, each stay is eligible for inclusion in the measure Uses Present on Admission item for each pressure ulcer stage (Stage 2 through and including unstageable pressure ulcers) to calculate the measure
Risk Adjustments Functional Mobility Admission Performance: GG0170C (Functional Mobility; Lying to Sitting on Side of Bed); Bowel Continence: H0400 (Bowel Continence); Peripheral Vascular Disease/Peripheral Arterial Disease or Diabetes Mellitus: I0900 (PVD or PAD); I2900 (DM); Low BMI, based on Height and Weight: K0200A (Height); and K0200B (Weight)
Drug Regimen Review Measure Description This patient assessment-based process quality measure evaluates whether PAC providers were responsive to potential or actual clinically significant medication issue(s) when such issues were identified. Specifically, this process quality measure reports the percent of patient/resident stays in which a drug regimen review was conducted at the time of admission and timely follow-up with a physician occurred each time potential clinically significant medication issues were identified throughout the stay.
Measure Description For this quality measure: 1. medication reconciliation is a process that identifies the most accurate and current list of medications, particularly during transitions of care, it also includes the evaluation of the name, dosage, frequency, and route; 2. Drug regimen review is defined as the review of all medications or drugs the patient/resident is taking to identify any potentially clinically significant medication issues; and 3. Potential clinically significant medication issues are identified as those issues that, in the clinician s professional judgement, warrant interventions, such as alerting the physician and/or others, and the timely completion of any recommended actions (by midnight of the next calendar day) so to avoid and mitigate any untoward or adverse outcomes 4. Medication reconciliation and drug regimen review are interrelated activities; this quality measure utilizes both the process of medication reconciliation and a drug regimen review, in the event an actual or potential medication issue occurred. This measure is applied uniformly across the PAC settings.
Change in Self-Care Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients (NQF #2633) This quality measure estimates the risk-adjusted mean change in self-care score between admission and discharge for SNF Part A residents discharged from a SNF This applies to coding for section GG0130 Purpose/Rationale This finalized quality measure meets the requirements of the IMPACT Act addressing the domain of functional status, cognitive function, and changes in function and cognitive function. This finalized measure focuses on self-care activities
Change in Self-Care Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients (NQF #2633) Denominator Exclusions Residents with incomplete stays Residents who are independent with all self-care activities at the time of admission Residents with the following medical conditions: coma; persistent vegetative state; complete tetraplegia; locked-in syndrome; sever anoxic brain damage; cerebral edema, or compression of brain Residents younger than 21 years Residents discharged to hospice Residents who are not MCA beneficiaries Residents who do not receive physical or occupational therapy services

Discharge Self-Care Score for Medical Rehabilitation Patients (NQF #2635) This quality measure estimates the percentage of SNF residents who meet or exceed an expected discharge self-care score Purpose/rationale for the Quality Measure As noted above, SNF s provide rehabilitation services to many residents with a goal of improving resident functioning. This is the third quality measure being finalized to meet the requirements of the IMPACT Act, addressing the domain of functional status, cognitive function, and changes in function and cognitive function. This finalized quality measure focuses on self-care activities. Focuses on section GG0130

Compliance with SNF QRP At least 80% of Assessments must be in Compliance to prevent 2% APU loss Modify assessments, if possible, to ensure accuracy and completion of SNF QRP items Reports can be accessed through QIES ASAP System Submission deadline is May 15, 2019 for data from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018
RCS-1 vs RUG IV Further MDS changes if RCS-1 takes effect October 1??? From all we know right know, MDS items will probably not be added or changed but we anticipate changes in what PPS MDS assessments will be required
