Re: FW: SNF Screening tool

[Guest guest]

I would love a copy also.

>>> Jon Turton 11/29 2:13 PM >>>

I was just at a conference where I saw BDO Seidman's(this is a consulting

company) SNF screening tool. It is a one page front and back form that is very,

very simple to use. I think we are going to start trying it this next week.

We don't ration our admissions coming from our acute hospital. Not our role

here. However, it does give us a head up on what to expect and will force us to

stop using the " old " criteria for skilled admission. This is one step that is

going to help transition us from the old model to the new model.

If I were in a position where I could control my case-mix, this tool would be

extremely helpful. Included in this tool is a simple approach to ADL scoring.

Remember- I haven't tried this, was just impressed by it nor do I know anything

about BDO Seidman.

If anyone wants a copy, I guess....send me an e-mail and I'll fax it. I don't

have an electronic version of it.

from the acute setting?
