Heart Failure is a complex and costly disease to manage. In an effort to increase patient quality of life while decreasing readmissions and cost of care, our organization hired a dedicated APRN to consult on patients in select Skilled Nursing Facilities and work collaboratively with the staff. The 30-day readmission rates of the SNF patients cared for by the APRN is on average, 12% lower than those not. It is estimated this program prevented an overall cost of care of approximately $657K.

Dr. Ahzam Afzal, Co-Founder and CEO of Puzzle Healthcare, aims to reduce readmission rates to hospitals and skilled nursing facilities by focusing on discharge planning and post-acute care. High readmission rates can result in financial penalties and are often caused by the complexity of the patient's condition and social determinants of health. Puzzle is working with health systems and SNFs to implement a readmission prevention program that includes physiatry and care coordination 90 days after discharge.  Ahzam explains, "Hospital readmissions have become a focal point for our healthcare systems for several reasons. First and foremost, they are a key indicator of the quality of care being provided by these facilities. High readmission rates often suggest that patients may not be receiving the comprehensive care they need during their hospital stay or the necessary support post-discharge. This could be due to inadequate discharge planning, insufficient patient education on their conditions, or a lack of effective follow-up care."   "Additionally, readmissions place a substantial financial burden on healthcare facilities. Under the Affordable Care Act, hospitals with higher than expected readmission rates for certain conditions face significant penalties including reduced Medicare reimbursements. This policy was also extended to skilled nursing facilities through the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing program, which penalizes SNF facilities based on their readmission rates starting in 2024."  #PuzzleHealthcare #ReadmissionPrevention #Hospitals #SkilledNursingFacilities #ValueBasedCare #PostAcuteCare #SDOH puzzlehealthcare.com Download the transcript here

Founded in 2009, Milestones is a trusted resource for many Elder Law Attorneys. It occupies an unexpected space among real estate brokerages as they focus on serving and advocating for Older Adults and Special Needs Clients.  The genesis for Milestones was the unpleasant experience of rescuing my Dad from an unsafe living situation in 2001. Little did I know that my negotiating and people skills would be demanded just for the seemingly simple act of moving Dad into a Skilled Nursing Facility.  My wife and I spent three months and several thousand driving- miles dealing with concerns, repairs, clean-outs, and other assorted loose ends. Years later, I thought, I'd been in training my whole adult life for that Olympian task, and nothing truly prepared me for the energy drain of helping him.  I bring an “insider's empathy” to the equation and meet clients where they are emotionally and physically with unwavering respect for their tolerances and abilities.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world. According to recent data from KFF, over 10 million people have lost their Medicaid coverage as states continue to assess eligibility and terminate coverage for those deemed ineligible. This comes as states have assessed the eligibility of 28 million Americans in total. The decline in employment in skilled nursing facilities is raising concerns, with regulators, healthcare industry leaders, and workers' unions split on how to make roles more attractive. Leapfrog Group CEO Leah Binder noted that while hospitals have improved on infection control following the COVID-19 spike, patient experience scores have declined, potentially due to ongoing labor shortages. In healthcare worker news, nearly 1,400 nurses at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington are set to begin a five-day strike on November 14. Concerns about the demand for obesity drugs impacting medical devices and procedures have led to a $370 billion decrease in value across the medtech sector, according to research. In regulatory news, CMS has finalized rules for Medicare hospital and doctor payments for 2024, as well as implementing fixes for the 340B drug pricing program and price transparency requirements. Finally, disputes between hospitals and workers are expected to continue even as the pandemic subsides, potentially leaving patients caught in the middle amid strikes and bottlenecks in care.Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has acquired an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) asset from South Korean biotech Orum Therapeutics for $100 million upfront. This deal comes after BMS's previous acquisition of Tubulis in April 2023, as the company continues its buying spree in the ADC space. BMS is expanding its portfolio of ADCs, which are a type of targeted cancer therapy that combines an antibody with a chemotherapy drug. The acquisition from Orum Therapeutics will add to BMS's pipeline of innovative cancer treatments. In other news, Kodiak Sciences is giving its failed eye drug, tarcocimab tedromer, another chance after new data convinced the company to continue its development. The drug had previously experienced late-stage failures, but the positive results from a phase III trial have prompted Kodiak Sciences to revive the project. Pfizer is implementing a $3.5 billion cost-cutting program, which includes laying off approximately 200 employees at its manufacturing facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The company is facing declining sales from its COVID-19 business and aims to mitigate the impact through cost reductions. Travere Therapeutics is hoping to regain momentum for its kidney disease drug, filspari, after two late-stage failures. The company has released positive results from two phase III studies in an attempt to revive the drug's prospects in treating iga nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Overall, these developments highlight ongoing activity and advancements in the biopharmaceutical industry. Companies like BMS, Kodiak Sciences, Pfizer, and Travere Therapeutics are actively pursuing new opportunities and strategies to drive innovation and address unmet medical needs.Pharmaceutical companies like J&J and Pfizer have established in-house bioethics expertise to address the numerous ethical issues facing the industry. One example is direct-to-consumer advertising, which bioethics professor Arthur Caplan describes as a "disaster." Caplan argues that these ads, which often have large budgets, are minimally effective and unlikely to influence patients to ask their doctors about specific medications. Caplan believes that addressing these ethical considerations could help improve the pharmaceutical industry's reputation. Additionally, investor concerns about the impact of obesity drugs on medical devices and procedures have led to a $370 billion decrease in the value of medtech stocks. Thermo Fisher Scientific has r

As facilities continue to grapple with staffing shortages and financial distress, an unprecedented number of skilled nursing facilities are cutting beds or shutting down entirely. And, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. Despite misconceptions about the value of skilled nursing facilities, these closures impact the entire healthcare ecosystem, and leaders can no longer ignore what is happening. In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites post-acute care experts Monica Westhead and Blake Zissman to discuss the reasons behind these closures and the impact this has on the entire delivery system.

If you're ever confused about a new rule at your facility, ask to see the policy. Not only will it clear up any misunderstandings or uninformed practices, but it also presents an opportunity for everyone to learn and grow in our field. This week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am answering a listener question about whether or not Medicare puts a limit on the number of minutes of care that you can provide to a patient in a Skilled Nursing Facility or any other setting.  In this episode, I cover: When you should be cautious of “new” Medicare rules. How asking to see the policy can help clarify if the concern you're dealing with is a Medicare rule or a facility rule disguised under Medicare. My thoughts on why the facility we address in the listener's question may have said there is a limit on the number of minutes of care under Medicare. How you, as the practitioner, can be prepared to advocate for yourself and your patients. Thanks for listening! If you found this episode helpful, don't forget to follow, rate, and review the show.

Sepsis impacts over 1.7 million Americans each year resulting in over 270,000 deaths (a death every 2 minutes). According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study, as many as 87% of sepsis cases begin outside of the hospital, so early identification and treatment in the post-acute setting is key to reducing morbidity and mortality in this population. Healthcare personnel in skilled nursing facilities play a significant role in early identification and treatment of sepsis. This presentation will overview sepsis, its pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and treatment within the context of skilled nursing and long term care (LTC). It will outline an early identification and treatment process for sepsis and how to incorporate it into usual work processes including communication strategies to providers that focus on action. Strategies for patient and family education will also be reviewed. To watch the lecture, and learn more about the speaker, please visit https://www.continulus.com

 Susan, your host, welcomes a recurring guest to today's episode, Allison Perkins. Allison lives in Cleveland, Ohio, with her husband and two sons. She is a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), currently working with children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders), and has also worked with adults in Skilled Nursing Facilities. Though professionally she is an SLP, she has always been passionate about writing. She has her own personal blog, HeartSoulStomach, which was created after her mother died in 2013. The blog began as a way for Allison to replicate her mom's recipes and talk about the entire process, though it has evolved into more than just food — namely, her struggles (and victories) with Endometriosis, grieving her parents, and life, in general.   Key Takeaways: Allison shares how her grief about the loss of her parents was re-edited when her second son was born; grief has no due date. Allison shares how the death of her parents was “the elephant in the room.” Allison talks about the huge milestones of her grief journey. Allison realized one day that she no longer had a mom who could help her be a mom. “Sundays at Grandma's” is a book that Allison and her family used to write every Sunday when the family got together. Allison had lost track of that book for four years and “miraculously” found it on Mother's Day. Allison shares the precious moment when her 2-year-old son asked about his grandparents' pictures that had always been exposed in the same area of the house, Allison realized she had never talked to her son about them, and the conversation turned out to be heartwarming and emotionally impacting. Allison expresses how much would she love to have her mom close to her to be part of their children's childhood. Susan and Allison talk about how they wish their loved ones who passed were there to share the everyday struggles that were often underappreciated when they were alive. Allison talks about how she honors her mother and dad. Allison shares her learned lessons in her grief journey: Grief does not go away but how you approach it changes. Your feelings are always OK. It is OK to ask others for help.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com   Meet Allison Perkins Check Allison's blog HeartSoulStomach
