Agencies only have days left to comment on two new items coming soon as a result of the IMPACT Act of 2014.
Agencies can comment through Dec. 11 on two new cross-setting quality measures. The measures involve transfer of health information and care preferences when an individual transitions.
The measures are:
- Transfer of information at post-acute care admission, start
, or resumption of care from other providers/settings
- Transfer of information at post-acute care discharge or end of care to other providers/settings
Meanwhile, agencies have through Dec. 9 to comment on another cross-setting measure: Percent of home health episodes with an admission and discharge functional assessment and a care plan that addresses function.
