From the desk of our CEO Kris Mastrangelo: 
 
Will RUG-IV Payments Continue?
 
  Congress is returing to Washington for a Lame Duck session.  At hand is the issue of the RUG-IV payment system delay. In addition, Congress will be voting on the Therapy Cap Exception process. There is a very limited time line to get this business complete.   Follow the link below to have a voice and urge Congress to act in the SNFs favor.

 The CNA: A Critical Piece of the MDS 3.0 Puzzle

 

MDS 3.0 accuracy, meaningful assessment and CarePlan as well as appropriate reimbursement begins at the bedside with the certified nursing assistant (CNA). Harmony Healthcare recognizes the importance of tapping into the knowledge that only the frontline staff has of your residents. This is an integral piece to the MDS 3.0 process.  Through Harmony's MDS program specially designed for CNAs and other frontline staff, these team members will learn their role in the MDS 3.0 and why their input is essential to ensure an assessment that truly reflects the status of the resident. The sections discussed during these sessions will include activities of daily living, mood, behavior and pain. These interactive and informative sessions will foster assessment accuracy, team building and a better understanding of the new MDS 3.0 process for the frontline staff. Call Harmony for more information, 1-800-530-4413.
