Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond Therapy: The SLP’s Role in MDS Coding and Documentation
Q: What is the value of accurate and comprehensive coding on the MDS for PDPM and patient care?
Robust coding and documentation strengthen the case for Medicare updates to payment, ensure reimbursement is justified, and most importantly capture the patient's medical reality to guide the care plan and follow-up care, with precise coding reducing risk of denials and improving outcomes.
Beyond Therapy: The SLP’s Role in MDS Coding and Documentation
Q: How can SLPs assist with the completion of the MDS itself?
SLPs can contribute across multiple MDS sections beyond BIMS, including hearing/vision/communication and swallowing, and should be educated on the MDS as a living document; their input helps form the care plan and supports accurate coding across sections, ultimately linking to reimbursement decisions and patient outcomes.
Beyond Therapy: The SLP’s Role in MDS Coding and Documentation
Q: Ashleigh, what is the primary challenge SLPs face in coding and documentation and SNFs?
The main challenge centers on productivity pressures and the time spent on coding and documentation, compounded by varying EHR limitations and the need to leverage available resources to achieve accurate, comprehensive coding and documentation that support PDPM and interprofessional communication.
From Certification to Transformation: How Majestic Care Is Leading Culture Change Through an Organization-Wide Education Strategy
Q: What initially prompted Majestic to explore an organization-wide certification strategy?
Majestic was rethinking how it approached quality measures and believed strengthening the skills and knowledge of both care team members and leaders would improve the overall quality of care, with the organizational membership providing a practical framework for shared knowledge and ongoing growth.
Nursing Facility Systems Series – Part 3: Creating a Culture of Fall Prevention
Q: Is there any additional resource listeners should know about?
AAPACN has developed a post-fall assessment nursing in-service education for licensed nurses, and the resource is accessible via the podcast description or AAPACN's website.
