Understanding PDPM

ACP Provides Patient-Centered Solutions to Optimize Outcomes through Today's Challenges

Interested in optimizing outcomes?

ACP can help!

ACP provides clinical consultation and rehabilitation technology to augment therapy services. ACP has independent data demonstrating that its evidence-based clinical programs and pathways result in both superior functional outcomes and higher ratings in the quality measure domain of the 5-star rating system vs non-ACP customers.

ACP partners with skilled nursing facility operators and rehabilitation providers for PDPM Success by:

  • Delivering clinical programs, pathways and technologies that optimize patient outcomes
  • Delivering efficient treatment delivery models that guide clinicians to implement efficacious clinical programs, pathways and technologies in group and concurrent formats
  • Leveraging labor efficiencies to refocus therapist time on the care needs of the long-term care population
  • Providing interdisciplinary education pathways to care collaborators to optimize clinical outcomes for older adults receiving long-term SNF care
  • Accelerating outcomes in quality care to optimize performance with other regulatory CMS mandates that will be in place alongside PDPM – 5-star QM, VBP, and QRP

What is the Value of ACP’s Patient Driven Care Model?

  • An independent study conducted by The Moran Company shows that ACP’s technology driven pathways result in improved functional outcomes in self-care and mobility compared to treatment pathways conducted without ACP.
  • These evidence-based clinical programs are designed to address the complex medical needs of patients across the care continuum.
  • ACP’s outcomes focused services, delivered with the use of biophysical agents and advanced rehabilitation technologies effectively address underlying impairments and comorbidities to both optimize clinical outcomes and maximize treatment efficiency.

White Papers

We are pleased to announce two white papers for our partners to help guide you through the Patient Driven Payment Model. Each paper was authored by our team of experts and provides valuable information to help you not only decipher the new regulatory and payment changes, but also to be successful under them.
