• Improve ACO And Post-Acute-Care Provider Collaboration Through Interoperability

  2/22/2016

  Nearly 40 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are discharged from a hospital to a post-acute care setting, which means the communication and data sharing between these two institutions is crucial, considering as many as 19 percent of those beneficiaries are readmitted within 30 days. Those readmissions impact accountable care organizations’ (ACOs) and senior care organizations’ revenue in several ways. If rates are too high, the hospital participant(s) in the ACO could receive an avoidable readmission penalty from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which can be as much as 3 percent of their Medicare payments. Readmissions also increase costs, decreasing the potential bundled payment for the ACO if it participates in a risk-bearing payment program, such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP).
