PDPM Countdown to Oct. 1 – Is Your Interdisciplinary Team Ready?

Posted on June 18, 2019 by Heidi Simpson

Many organizations have not yet registered their teams for the July workshop to prepare for Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) implementation that goes into effect Oct. 1, 2019. A Team Approach to Operationalizing PDPM is a full day workshop that takes place at four different locations in July. It is designed to equip interdisciplinary teams with the knowledge and tools to prepare for the sweeping changes in Medicare Part A payment classification system.  

The new system impacts clinical operations including pre-admission screening, IDT documentation and may influence the types of individuals being admitted. PDPM will impact how accurate reimbursement is captured, payment for rehab, changes in clinical and behavioral health documentation, claim check review process, and much more. An interdisciplinary approach to PDPM is critically important and must begin well in advance. Teams will learn through case studies and hands-on activities in this workshop and bring back actionable strategies for successful implementation.

Dates/locations: July 9 – Bemidji; July 11 – Maple Grove; July 24 – Mankato; July 25 – Shoreview

The workshops are presented by Karolee Alexander or Leah Killian Smith of Business Partner firm and Annual Bronze Sponsor Pathway Health. Find details and registration here.
