Recently, an article appeared in the Skilled Nursing News that specifies how outsourced RT creates increased profitability under PDPM (the Patient-Driven Payment Model). The article quotes Edwin Frost of Aeris Consulting, regarding the potential for increased profit for nursing homes; you can read it here.

As the article notes, PDPM matches reimbursement for nursing homes based on resident acuity. Frost points out that in the wake of long term acute care hospitals closing, skilled nursing facilities have been taking on sicker patients with more complex needs. With PDPM, credit will be given to nursing homes for caring for these sicker patients.

While in the past caring for more complex illnesses had been a cost of doing business, there will now be greatly increased reimbursement potential for skilled nursing facilities. A facility needs to demonstrate at least 15 minutes of face time between respiratory therapists and patients each day, and the facility must also document a patient’s condition during a specified look back period. With timely respiratory therapy through outsourcing, the article also points out, nursing homes can also prevent costly hospital trips for patients.

All of these changes make outsourced RT creates increased profitability under PDPM for skilled nursing facilities. Frost stated for the article that consulting services typically cost about one-third of the total reimbursement that providers accrue, making for as much as a 70% return on investment. In addition, outsourcing is an alternative to in-house training for staff nurses that can only see a few patients per hour, and who could simply leave in an area where there is high turnover.

Click here to see the article and find out more about how outsourced RT creates increased profitability under PDPM. PDPM represents an increased profit source for skilled nursing facilities, and it’s likely to be a source of revenue for SNFs in 2020 and beyond.

Edwin Frost is the leader of Aeris Consulting & Management in West Deptford, NJ. He is a Registered Respiratory Therapist whose area of expertise is in hospital and health care in the greater Philadelphia area. In addition to serving on the faculty at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Independence University in California, he has served as the National Director of Operations for 23 sleep related breathing disorder clinics across the United States.

If you regularly follow stories related to nursing facilities and care, you may have seen our own Ed Frost featured in Skilled Nursing News. If not, you can read this informative article here.

Ed Frost Speaks About The Potential of PDPM

The piece is focused on the increased potential for profitable care in the era of the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). The author of the article, industry expert Alex Spanko, spoke with both Ed Frost of Aeris Consulting and Melissa Sabo of Gravity Healthcare Consulting, regarding PDPM and what it means for skilled nursing facilities.

As detailed in the article, more complex respiratory therapy for sicker patients is becoming a key revenue source for facilities. As Frost points out, “Skilled nursing facilities over the past several years, and this has really amped up in the past five years, are being forced to take sicker and sicker and sicker patients — especially with many areas of the country losing their long-term acute care hospitals.”

Frost added that “There’s very little access to higher levels of care, intermediary levels of care, and they really have been forced to take sicker and sicker folks.” He noted that with PDPM, nursing homes will now receive credit for admitting sicker patients that require higher levels of care.

Frost also emphasized that it’s not necessarily a fee-for-service play…with a timely intervention from a respiratory therapist, a nursing home operator can help to prevent return trips to the hospital for patients. Cardio pulmonary problems are a very common source of hospital readmissions.

The piece took note of the potential for growth in skilled nursing facilities as a result of decreased readmissions. A skilled respiratory therapy facility can save on the high costs of hospital readmissions, which has a positive impact on a facility’s reputation. As Frost pointed out, “Readmission rates start to go down, their marketability starts to improve. Amongst patients and family members, when they’re in the facility, confidence levels increase.”

With the increased potential for earnings for respiratory care through PDPM, skilled nursing facilities should seek a consulting service that can help guide them through the coming changes and stay profitable in the future.

There always has been a need for qualified respiratory therapists, but in the current healthcare environment, demand for respiratory therapy services is rising. As a result, respiratory therapy companies are providing an important service in a field where there is significant turnover, unpredictability of need, and challenges managing the bottom line.

In a recent study cited in this article from the American Association for Respiratory Care, the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that employment of respiratory therapists from 2016 to 2026 is projected to grow by as much as 23%, much higher than average for other occupations.

As the article points out, this appears to be in contrast with a Fox Business report that stated that the #2 occupation on the list of “Fastest Disappearing Jobs In The U.S.” is “Respiratory Therapy Technician”. In fact, this is a result of a) a “Respiratory Therapy Technician” is not the same as a “Respiratory Therapist”; and b) the result of the technician designation being eliminated by the National Board for Respiratory Care in 1999.

The Actual Reason Demand For Respiratory Therapy Services Is Rising

In reality, demand for respiratory therapy services is rising as a result of an aging population in the United States. People are living longer, and as better healthcare results in fewer fatalities, aging citizens occupying nursing homes and hospitals require quality respiratory care. Nursing facilities may be required to handle more patients and residents, and need to be equipped to handle the workload and to scale up or down as needed, such as when cold seasons arrive.

Moreover, the respiratory therapist occupation requires education and skills to adapt to changing environments and equipment. Skilled respiratory therapists are an absolutely vital part of nursing homes and other healthcare institutions, to provide quality patient care.

For nursing homes, often one of the bigger challenges is to be sufficiently staffed with qualified therapists. You may be dealing with an increase in patients that is temporary, or you may be growing as a result of a strong word-of-mouth reputation.

At Aeris Consulting, one of our specialties is assisting your facility in providing top quality respiratory care. We provide temporary and supplemental staffing for 13 to 26 week assignments, or complete management of your respiratory department. As your need for qualified respiratory therapists continues to grow, we can help you achieve fixed costs, reduce your overhead, and always be staffed and ready for your patient population.

Click here to read the article regarding the growing need for respiratory therapists, and contact us today to find out how you can meet this growing need in your facility.

Aeris Consulting is a nationwide medical consulting service firm specializing in complex respiratory therapy intervention for nursing homes. When your facility needs assistance in the form of skilled on-call therapists, additional educational programs, patient assessments or respiratory equipment, we are here to help. Our goal is to provide the services you need…to reduce your overhead costs, have the staff and equipment on hand to admit patients, and operate your facility efficiently and profitably.

The nursing home business, as you surely know, is wildly unpredictable, and care facilities must be prepared for not only the amount of patients they will be caring for, but also for downturns in patient check-ins and keeping payroll manageable. Aeris Consulting offers the best solutions, for staffing, patient care, and respiratory equipment, and we help ensure that you’re prepared for increases and decreases in patient numbers.

The Importance of Complex Respiratory Therapy in Nursing Homes

As our president Edwin Frost was recently quoted in a Skilled Nursing News article regarding the PDPM payment model (you can read the article here), the need for nursing facilities to take in sicker patients is growing due to fewer long term care hospitals, and so is the need for nursing homes to be able to care for such patients.

As nursing homes become more skilled in complex respiratory cases, they are able to achieve higher reimbursement costs, especially if they are able to reduce re-admissions. As your facility reduces re-admissions, your facility’s marketability and overall reputation improves, and with that comes increased profitability.

Aeris Consulting can ensure that your nursing home can provide complex respiratory care for your patients at any level of their needs, and that your staff can meet the demand. We provide your facility with licensed respiratory therapists for patient monitoring and assessments, along with fully staffed pulmonary programs. If you need temporary staff to handle increasing numbers of patients, we can provide on-call caregivers for 13- and 26-week assignments.

We also help manage respiratory equipment, with periodic inspections, repairs, and maintenance of oxygen concentrators and other equipment to keep your facility compliant with both federal and your state and regional regulations. Ensuring that you have the equipment and supplies on hand to meet the demand is just as important as having sufficient staffing. Find out more about our equipment sales and rentals here, including the types of equipment we can procure for your facility.

To ensure that you have the staff and equipment to handle your existing patients and admit new ones, reach out to Aeris Consulting. Wherever your facility is in the United States, we provide for all of your needs regarding complex respiratory therapy intervention for nursing homes. We’ll help you offer the quality care your patients deserve, and we’ll help to grow your facility and success rate too.

Edwin C. Frost, RRT, has been a Registered Respiratory Therapist since 1992. He has served on the faculty at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, the Independence University of California, and many respiratory disorder clinics throughout the U.S. He is an active member of the New Jersey State Board of Respiratory Care and has successfully managed multiple long term and acute respiratory programs.

As of October 1, 2019, the Patient Driven Payment Model for Skilled Nursing Facilities went into effect, as approved by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. What is the PDPM reimbursement model? It is a new method of classifying patients with specific respiratory needs in a Part A stay, which replaces the Resource Utilization Group, Version IV (RUG-IV) case-mix classification system. (See more about PDPM from the CMS with this link.)

RUG-IV placed patients into a therapy payment group, which determined payment classification based on volume of therapy services. As a result, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) had an incentive to provide therapy regardless of a patient’s individual characteristics or needs. PDPM now categorizes patients into much more specific, data-driven characteristics, which in turn reduces administrative costs for providers.

The PDPM reimbursement model provides payments through six different components, five of which are case-mix adjusted for varying patient characteristics. In addition, PDPM allows for adjustments for services that do not vary by patient.

As Edwin Frost (founder of Aeris Consulting) has pointed out in this article in the Skilled Nursing News, skilled nursing facilities have been taking on sicker patients with more complex needs, and as a result, there is an increased opportunity for profitability with PDPM. 

With the new model, nursing facilities receive credit for caring for patients with more complex cases, while in the past this was a cost of doing business. Frost points out in the article that the increased reimbursement potential can be as much as $1,200 to $1,800 per week.

The measure is intended to reduce costly hospital readmissions, which are often a result of unchecked and untreated respiratory conditions. Interventions from a respiratory therapist can prevent trips to the hospital, and a skilled nursing facility’s marketability begins to improve.

Implications of the PDPM Reimbursement Model

The PDPM reimbursement model requires at least 15 minutes of face time between therapists and patients each day, and a skilled nursing facility must document the patient’s condition during a look back period. Through PDPM, outsourced respiratory therapy becomes much more attractive and profitable for nursing facilities.

Find out more detailed answers to the question: What is the PDPM reimbursement model? Reach out to Aeris Consulting today to learn more about what this means for your facility in the future. Aeris Consulting offers a variety of other services to meet your facility’s needs as well, including temporary staffing, as-needed consults, equipment sales and rentals and much more.

Wound therapy for prisons and correctional facilities is one of the many services we provide at Aeris Consulting. Our team provides staffing and equipment to prisons throughout the country, and we assist them in reducing risks to inmates and employees, and saving on costs. With Aeris on your team, you’ll be able to cut costs and provide needed health care, while staying within your financial constraints.

Why Proper Wound Care Is Important

Wound therapy in correctional facilities is often not done properly – inmates often are victims of assaults and self-inflicted wounds, and the risk of infection in a prison environment is high. Inmates have lower limb ulcerations and self-inflicted wounds at a much higher rate than the general population. With lacerations, burns and stab wounds common in correctional facilities, this increases the risk of infection as well.

It’s often the case that a wound care specialist should be on staff to provide proper treatments, cleansing of wounds, and instructional healing services. Wound dressings need to be changed frequently, and occasionally antibiotic therapy may be needed.

Wherever there is an opportunity to cut costs, operators of correctional facilities need to examine possibilities. The cost of transporting an inmate to a hospital or an emergency room, and the cost of hospitalization, is a strain on prison budgets that are already tight to begin with. Handling wound care properly on site helps significantly cut costs.

In addition, being able to properly diagnose and treat an inmate’s wounds quickly can save them from more costly therapies and prevent more serious infections. Wound therapy within a facility also reduces risks to employees and liabilities to municipalities.

At Aeris, we work to provide the highest level of patient care. We also perform needed care within a location to reduce expenses whenever possible. Our staff works with each individual facility to provide quality, cost-effective solutions. We recognize that every prison has specific needs, and we can adapt our services accordingly. Our goal is provide quality care in your facility while managing your expenses.

Aeris’s Prison Wound Therapy Services

• Staff education for each type of facility
• Equipment sales and rental
• Quality trained healthcare practitioners
