CMS Creates Post-Acute Care QRP Videos & Patient Cue Cards

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has created short videos and developed patient cue cards to assist providers with learning how to code patient assessment instruments for the following Post-Acute Care (PAC) Quality Reporting Programs (QRP):

• Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH), Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF), Home Health (HH), and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF): GG0170C. Lying to Sitting on Side of Bed
• LTCH & IRF: Transfer of Health Items
• LTCH: GG0170L. Walking 10 Feet on Uneven Surfaces and GG0170P. Picking Up Object

Help LTCH, IRF, and HH patients select responses by showing them the new cue cards for:

• Administration of the Brief Interview for Mental Status in Writing
• PHQ-2 to 9
• Pain Interview
