Initiative to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations among Nursing Facility Residents
This new effort aims to improve the quality of care for people residing in nursing facilities. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is currently accepting applications to participate in this initiative.
CMS will support organizations that will partner with nursing facilities to implement evidence-based interventions that both improve care and lower costs. The initiative is focused on long-stay nursing facility residents who are enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, with the goal of reducing avoidable inpatient hospitalizations. This initiative supports the Partnership for Patients' goal of reducing hospital readmission rates by 20% by the end of 2013.
