New research highlights the benefits of Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs) for seniors, particularly Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.1 The study shows residents enrolled in I-SNPs experience better health outcomes than those in traditional Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) or non-I-SNP Medicare Advantage plans.
Key findings include:
- Improved quality of care in managing conditions like pressure ulcers, fall injuries, and infections; and
- Reduced emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and readmissions.
In other words, I-SNPs ensure that long term care residents receive the right care at the right time, which results in better overall health outcomes. These plans provide individualized care coordination and on-site nurse practitioners to better manage complex health needs. As health care shifts toward value-based care, I-SNPs are becoming an essential tool for improving care quality and cost-efficiency in skilled care facilities.
Join industry experts and long term care professionals at the
AHCA/NCAL Population Health Summit (PHMS) this April in Atlanta. Over the course of two days, you will gain insights into value-based care models, learn practical strategies for implementing I-SNPs, and connect with others dedicated to improving outcomes for long term care residents. Education sessions offer the chance to explore the financial implications of transitioning from FFS to value-based care models, examine various I-SNP models, and discuss how to turn I-SNPs into a reality. Make sure you are part of the future of health care, and
