CMS Hosted Call
IMPACT Act: Standardizing Assessment Across Post-Acute Care
On Thursday, February 4 from 1:30 to 3 pm ET, CMS will host a call on the standardized assessment required in the IMPACT Act. The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT Act of 2014) requires the reporting of standardized patient assessment data by Post-Acute Care (PAC) providers, including skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care hospitals. It specifies that data elements must be standardized and interoperable to allow for the exchange and use of data among these PAC and other providers, including common standards and definitions to facilitate coordinated care and improved beneficiary outcomes. During this call, CMS subject matter experts and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT will discuss the implications of the IMPACT Act for health information exchange across the care continuum.
The target audience for this call is providers across the care continuum, including long-term/post-acute care and home and community-based service providers, acute and primary care providers, integrated delivery systems and representatives from other payment models, health IT vendors, and other interested stakeholders.
Continuing education credit may be awarded for participation in certain MLN Connects Calls. Visit the Continuing Education Credit Information webpage to learn more.
