In late April, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed new post-acute care payment rules that will raise Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities by $850 million (2.4%) in fiscal year 2019, launch a simplified patient classification system a year later, and improve interoperability. Hospices would see a $340 million (1.8%) increase in payments for fiscal year 2019.
In this month’s FutureCAST interviews, two experts discuss their most exciting initiatives and impressions on CAST’s impact. Susheel Ladwa, Chief Editor at DistilNFO and co-chair of the America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) IT Advisory Group, who was formerly with IBM Cloud Services, speaks with these executives:
- David Belbeck, EVP, Corporate Development at PointClickCare, a LeadingAge Gold Partner with CAST Focus.
To give its residents the positive benefits of using a special touchscreen digital tablet for social engagement, LeadingAge CAST Patron Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay partnered with TMM Software to create a custom tablet at an affordable cost. Thanks to local youth volunteers who helped train residents, the tablet achieved just above a 92% acceptance rate. A new CAST case study charts the tablet’s success.
A healthcare transformation is coming, and CAST Commissioners recently discussed how best to prepare. The Commissioners gathered for their biannual meeting on March 18, 2018, in conjunction with the PEAK Leadership Summit. Together, they explored ways that senior living providers can shift mindsets, processes, and business models to become providers of choice.
CAST has updated its Shared Care Planning and Coordination Online Tool with updated vendor information for 19 products and published a new case study. “Improving Care Coordination and Data Sharing with Acute Care and Payers” illustrates how integration technology can help a provider reduce gaps in care and remain a preferred provider to a health system.
During April 2018, LeadingAge launched a new series of town hall conversations with members around the country, positioned members to become hometown advocates, asked hard questions about how to pay for services, raised concerns about federal funding proposals, and developed timely resources addressing weapons policies, fair housing, workforce, ageism, and technology.
