PDPM is the biggest regulatory change to hit the industry in decades. With the new reimbursement model going from a fee-for-service to person-centered care, operators have been challenged to change their processes to ensure success under the new model.
While there are many different methods, the one core theme to success requires operators to create new workflows ensuring that PDPM relevant information is collected sooner and in a comprehensive manner. Operators have gravitated towards solutions to assist with change management, but the biggest impact they can make to increase organizational success and compliance is better Practitioner engagement.

Margaret Sayers, MS, NP, VP of Product and Research at Patient Pattern, is a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner. She is a veteran of PALTC having spent four decades in long-term care facilities, from assisted living to skilled facilities, in a variety of nursing, administrative, and clinical roles. Margaret is a partner in Patient Pattern, Inc. and along with a team of experts in geriatrics, IT, health policy, and data analytics, her focus has been on developing frailty risk based software to identify and manage the most vulnerable, clinically complex patients residing primarily in the long term care setting. The software is designed to analyze routinely collected MDS data to calculate a frailty risk score paired with clinical decision support and geriatric, evidence-based management recommendations. These insights help clinicians to frame communications with patients and families, helping to align their expectations with a realistic picture of the patient’s physiological reserve and anticipated response to acute stressors.
