Ready or not, the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) is here. Post-acute and long-term care facilities have been preparing for months, and they are bracing for the new reimbursement model’s implementation. Here is what some experts are saying:
- Owen Hammond, CEO, Cascadia Healthcare: “Our approach to preparing for PDPM has been very team-oriented.”
- Anne Tumlinson, CEO, Anne Tumlinson Innovations: ‘The real challenge, in my mind, is not much whether SNFs can code and care for their current patient mix well enough – it’s whether they can take full advantage of this new payment system.”
- Ben Kurland, CEO, Allaire Health Services: “From a process standpoint, tighter-than-ever interdisciplinary communication will be the most critical element to success.”
