Hospitals
are keeping a close watch on their Medicare beneficiaries to ensure that they are
not readmitted within 30 days of discharge, including those hospitalized Medicare
beneficiaries who live in skilled nursing and assisted living settings. Well trained RNs can play a critical role in
reducing re-hospitalizations.
Hospitals
face having Medicare reimbursements withheld if their re-hospitalization rates
are too high. In October 2018, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) also
will face financial consequences if their re-hospitalization rates are too
high. Managing rehospitalization rates
has become a key part of a successful long term care business strategy in
caring for the elderly in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Research
conducted by AHCA/NCAL in 2016 found that the rehospitalization rates in
nursing facilities with at least one RN certified in gerontological nursing by the
ANCC
consistently
have run at least two percentage points lower than the national average since
2011. AHCA/NCAL believes that assisted
living settings may experience similar results by increasing their RNs’
gerontological expertise.
ANCC is the world’s largest and most prestigious
nurse credentialing organization and a subsidiary of the American Nurses
Association. Less than one percent of
America’s RNs are ANCC board certified in gerontological nursing.
To
help increase the number of board certified RNs, AHCA/NCAL’s Gero Nurse Prep program is
designed to help RNs prepare for and pass the ANCC gerontological certification
exam. RNs who complete the AHCA/NCAL Gero Nurse Prep program have a
passing rate of 96 percent on the ANCC exam and receive 30 CEUs. They also increase their knowledge of
gerontological nursing by 20 percent on pre- and post-test scores.
Strengthen your position in the marketplace by demonstrating your ability to reduce re-hospitalizations. Watch
