PATH ALONG Helps Hospital With New CMS Ref:S&C:13-32 Guidelines

The (CMS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have published on May 17, 2013 guidelines to enhance patient safety and reduce the number of preventable hospital readmissions.  CMS Ref: S&C:13-32 Hospital Interpretive Guidelines is suggestions for discharge process improvement.

The material communicates successful practices currently found throughout the industry in the area of care transitions.  This recommends a discharge plan for every inpatient.  The discharge plan should document an assessment of the likelihood of a patient needing post hospital services and the availability of those services.  The assessment should record the individual's capacity for performing the required self care and the possibility of the patient being cared for in the environment from which the person entered the hospital. 

This moves the community away from a focus primarily on the patients hospital stay to consideration of transitions among the many types of care settings that can be involved throughout the support of any one person.  Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model utilizes copyright content to improve a comprehensive participation in each transition of care.   The PATH ALONG model links Wisconsin hospital's to a community based supportive care service. 

The PATH ALONG model anticipates health insurance payers will look to outpatient providers to begin delivering a discharge process with the procedure of treatment marketed to the population.  Patient safety is the purpose , reducing preventable hospital readmissions is the goal, saving fiscal resources is a desired outcome of the process.
