Skilled Nursing News May 22, 2022
As patients continue to seek out ways to be cared for in the home over more institutional settings like nursing homes, an impending nationwide rollout of the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model may dwindle managed care relationships and drive care further away from SNFs.
Results from a nine-state, five-year demo of HHVBP showed a 0.34 percentage-point decline in SNF use per year among home health beneficiaries.
That corresponds to a 6.9% decrease in average measure values relative to pre-HHVBP implementation, as previously reported in sister publication Home Health Care News.
An annual evaluation of the model recognized the SNF decline, prepared and published in April by the Arbor Research Collaborative for Health and L&M Policy Research.
