Proactive skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) have been preparing for this sea change for months, adapting processes and procedures to align with the new model. It represents a huge shift in our reimbursement focus from therapy to patients’ clinical characteristics and skilled services rendered. The change makes perfect sense as, over time, the role of SNFs has evolved from rehabilitation to subacute care for medically complex patients.
