ODM Posts Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Rates
The Nursing Facility Ventilator Program – Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) rates were posted on the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) nursing facility webpage last week. Nursing facility VAP rates will be compared with the state-wide VAP rate starting with the third and fourth quarter reports submitted for calendar year 2019.
A reminder to all LeadingAge Ohio members to carefully read OAC 5165-3-18 Nursing Facilities (NF’s): ventilator program which provides the compliance guidelines.
The ODM 10228 Nursing Facility Quarterly Ventilator Program Report can be obtained online by searching the form number on the Medicaid publications website.
