This is something for Homecare agencies to keep an eye on moving forward. https://t.co/A2pvcCLEvx https://t.co/lONOdv5WPv

Real Time Medical Systems is the real deal! If your SNF is looking for ways to provide excellent quality care, avoid hospital readmissions and earn extra revenue for your facility, Real Time Medical is something I highly recommend you look at. https://t.co/yymlof0wch

Rehabbing residents and providing outcomes in SNFs is going to be how facilities are measured and reimbursed. Is your facility ready for this model? Do you have the equipment needed to improve residents and show CMS how you are doi…https://t.co/33rpvKatyM https://t.co/Wbrurqh7fH

"To face both of these new challenges, top thinkers have increasingly preached the importance of using data to prove individual SNFs’ worth to Medicare Advantage plans and increasingly narrow referral networks. In addition, solid d…https://t.co/WHvsco8kZF https://t.co/cX8I0BkqOc

Assisted Living occupancy hit a record low. With so many AL communities popping up all over the country, I'm curious how these facilities are differentiating themselves from competition. https://t.co/vGDHRZOx28 https://t.co/8H2Cdbovcn

Good read comparing the sabermetrics revolution in baseball to the need for SNFs to use data to grow and continuously improve the care they provide their residents. https://t.co/9gJ5d1hgT5 https://t.co/F0Ccvrz1CC

Fantastic read about a SNFs massive improvements and turnaround in the last few years. While many 1 and 2 star facilities may not think there is much hope in becoming a 4 or 5 star facility, this story shows it is possible with har…https://t.co/ktZUHVZ3Fp https://t.co/3Y2KjE4RUk

There are many metrics SNFs are told to be aware of. This read helps SNFs look closer at a few that they should be focusing on. https://t.co/U4szMKiRNV https://t.co/acsCVeFyuG

Good read on the ramifications of Therapy & Rehab reimbursements for SNFs under the proposed new PDPM payment model. https://t.co/E07TtgdJGU https://t.co/NkB0SP6mN7

"The report's final recommendation is to adopt more of a hospital-partner mindset. That means finding a caregiving niche where your performance is superior and/or less costly, and being able to back up your claims with hard data." https://t.co/gFTnXglphd https://t.co/LtyX6oKwSd

RCS-1 may be short-lived but PDPM is the new payment plan model for SNFs that is in consideration. From the perspective of providers, there is a lot to like about PDPM. https://t.co/tpZ8RzuzzD https://t.co/1yN95K6HG6
