Description

Quality outcomes have never been more critical to the success of skilled nursing facilities. Among the newest and most impactful measures is the Discharge Function Score, a metric that can be challenging to fully understand yet now plays a significant role in your facility’s Five-Star Quality Rating and will soon influence Value-Based Purchasing performance. 

This program provides a comprehensive, practical exploration of the Discharge Function Score measure. Participants will gain clarity on the methodology behind the metric, understand how CMS collects and uses the data, and learn actionable strategies to improve performance. The session emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and routine data review to drive sustainable, measurable outcomes.
