As reimbursement models continue to evolve, Value-Based Care (VBC) is rapidly reshaping the skilled nursing landscape.
This session is designed for SNF leaders who want to move beyond compliance and position their organizations for long-term success under performance-based payment models. Caryn and Brian will guide participants through the key components of VBC - explaining how Quality Measures, the SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program, and the Quality Reporting Program directly impact financial and clinical outcomes. Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning therapy, MDS, and nursing teams to drive measurable improvements in resident function, readmission rates, and discharge success. Through real-world case examples, data strategies, and a structured action plan, participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to operationalize value-based principles, strengthen performance metrics, and optimize reimbursement opportunities in an increasingly outcome-driven healthcare environment.
