Description of Course:
The Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program continues to expand, making provider performance increasingly critical. Participants will get a practical overview of SNF VBP requirements, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updates, and the operational and clinical factors that most influence outcomes. The review will include frequently missed Medicare PDPM best practices, actionable strategies to strengthen financial performance, and compliance in today's payment environments. 
 

Who Should Attend:
Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), MDS Coordinator
 

Learning Objectives:
1. Explain the core components of the SNF Medicare VBP Program.
2. Identify the primary operational and clinical drivers of SNF VBP performance.
3. Recognize common Medicare PDPM Best Practice Gaps — including assessment coding, documentation, and interdisciplinary care delivery breakdowns, that can negatively affect Medicare reimbursement and compliance.
4. Develop practical strategies to improve Medicare quality outcomes and financial performance by integrating VBP awareness into daily clinical and operational decision-making.
