Many of the changes are consistent with those adopted in the FY 2023 SNF PPS Final Rule including:
- New transfer of health information (medication list) to a subsequent provider or patient/family at discharge MDS items needed for the new transfer of health information SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) measures.
- Some new or revised MDS items (i.e., patient demographic and social determinants of health items) so that all PAC setting items for these domains are standardized.
These proposed changes are:
- Elimination of Section G function items
- Revision of Section GG items for use in all OBRA assessments for function. Most notably – CMS intends to standardize Section GG to have the same 3-day assessment windows for both PPS and OBRA assessments.
