Publicly reported quality measures are limited in their ability to risk-adjust for patient characteristics. SNFs caring for special-needs populations, such as children or patients with severe mental illness, need to demonstrate their quality performance in creative and unique ways. In this session, hear how providers who care for special populations reverse public perception and present their stories of providing high quality care to the public, payers, and referral partners.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the negative impact of specialty populations on quality measures and Five-Star.
Reverse the public perception using other “metrics that matter”.
Demonstrate a successful return on investment (ROI) in caring for special populations.
