SNFs vs. LTACs vs. IRFs: The Battle for the Post-Acute Patient

NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The future of the skilled nursing sector may be at stake over the next several years as the high-quality providers try to take acuity levels higher and higher and compete with Long-Term Acute Care hospitals (LTACs) and Inpatient Rehab facilities (IRFs). As long as skilled nursing facilities have the appropriate staffing and equipment, the belief is they can take on almost any patient. But regulators are not so sure. New Medicare reimbursement protocols for SNFs that will be effective late next year will change how some SNFs go about their business, but it should be increasing the profitability of the highest acuity patients.

If you operate or own a skilled nursing facility, this is a webinar you can't miss, and your future may depend on it. And if you are confused about all the changes coming along, you will be able to get your answers from the panelists during our live Q&A. All of our webinars are recorded, allowing you to watch at a later date.
