conducted the Data Assessment and Verification (DAVE) program to determine the types and frequencies of miscoded areas.  DAVE 2 was to assure accuracy and reliability of Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment data, as these data drive Medicare Part A payment, publicly reported quality measures (QMs) and quality indicators (QIs) and, in some states, Medicaid case mix payment systems. The DAVE program has come to a close and as a result of onsite accuracy review found multiple areas noted as having higher discrepancy rates.

 

Harmony Healthcare supports facilities through this tedious process to assure accuracy in both MDS coding and PPS / Case Mix reimbursement.
