Elevating Chronic Care Management through Nurse Care Managers As healthcare continues to pivot towards value-based care models, the role of #NurseCareManagers (#NCMs) in Chronic Care Management (#CCM) has never been more pivotal. NCMs are at the forefront of identifying eligible patients, developing personalized #careplans, and ensuring seamless #carecoordination. But how does this translate into better Quality Payment Program (#QPP) scores and increased incentive payments? First, by identifying patients eligible for CCM, NCMs ensure that those with multiple #chronicconditions receive continuous, comprehensive care. They not only enroll patients but also provide them with the necessary education about the benefits of such programs, leading to higher patient engagement and satisfaction. Secondly, care coordination is the heart of CCM. NCMs work tirelessly to connect the dots between various healthcare providers, ensuring that the patient's care plan is executed flawlessly. This includes managing medication, scheduling follow-ups, and monitoring the patient's health status. The seamless execution of these plans leads to improved patient outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions, which are critical metrics in determining QPP scores. Lastly, meticulous documentation and correct coding of CCM services by NCMs ensure that providers are reimbursed accurately for the care provided. This not only supports the financial health of the practice but also reflects the quality of care in QPP scores. In essence, NCMs are invaluable in navigating the complexities of chronic care, enhancing patient health outcomes, and steering healthcare practices towards higher QPP scores and increased incentives. Let's acknowledge and support the integral role of NCMs in elevating #chroniccaremanagement. #nursesofLinkedIn #innovation #nurseleaders #patientcenteredcare #valuebasedcare #CMS

Nurses, let's talk about the critical role of care managers in enhancing patient care. Care managers are partners in reducing unnecessary hospital readmissions, supporting patients outside of the office visit, and improving patient health outcomes through five strategic areas: 1. Comprehensive Discharge Planning: We ensure every aspect of a patient's needs is covered in a detailed discharge plan, involving both the patient and their family for a smoother transition home. 2. Medication Management: Care managers help patients understand their medications better and ensure they're taken correctly, reducing the risk of complications. 3. Patient and Family Engagement: We use strategies to make sure patients and their families are well-prepared and involved in their care, encouraging self-management and helping to strength their support system. 4. Transition Care Support: By coordinating care transitions, care managers ensure seamless care continuity when patients move between care settings. 5. Communications: We provide clear communication among healthcare providers throughout a patient's care journey, ensuring everyone is on the same page. Care managers are essential in our mission to deliver holistic, patient-centered care. Our efforts in these five areas not only prevent hospital readmissions but also empower patients in their healing and long-term health management. #nurseentrepreneur #nursesonlinkedin #chroniccaremanagement #caremanagement #transitionalcaremanagement

MD, NP, or PA? Historically, most people have named physicians as their 'usual source of care' (the person from whom someone regularly accesses healthcare services). But more than ever, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are being named as usual sources of care. This could be the result of newer practice laws that allow NPs and PAs to spearhead more primary care. Regardless, what matters most is that patients are getting in to their providers for checkups and other preventive care services--and we applaud this growing diversity of qualified care providers.

Many clinicians feel overwhelmed about upcoming MDS changes with much of the challenge being related to #StaffingShortages. Two years ago, AHCA/NCAL’s State of the Long Term Care Industry report highlighted that nearly every nursing home (99%) and assisted living facility (96%) was facing a staffing shortage. This is a problem that continues to persist. Imposing staffing mandates despite these ongoing challenges is only creating more stress on the #SeniorCare sector. Additionally, new quality measures and updates to Five-Star ratings are being called a ‘triple whammy’ against the industry. While it’s critical to ensure patient safety, we must find a solution that supports providers and ensures healthcare facilities feel better prepared amid ongoing staffing shortages. To make navigating these challenges easier, we’ve built technological solutions designed to alleviate leading industry pain points. If you’re curious about how we can help you through this transition, please reach out. Learn more about the upcoming MDS changes in Skilled Nursing News this #WTWPCC: https://bit.ly/3thYY9U
