Abstract:
In the FY 2018 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule, CMS adopted three measures beginning with the FY 2020 LTCH QRP and removed two measures. The finalized measures are Changes in Skin Integrity Post-Acute Care: Pressure Ulcer/Injury, Compliance with Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) by Day 2 of the LTCH Stay, and Ventilator Liberation Rate. The measures removed from the LTCH QRP are Percent of Residents or Patients with Pressure Ulcers That Are New or Worsened (Short Stay) (NQF #0678) and the All-Cause Unplanned Readmission Measure for 30 Days Post Discharge from Long-Term Care Hospitals (NQF #2512). We also finalized to characterize certain data elements, as described in section IX.C.10 of the FY 2018 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule, as standardized patient assessment data under section 1899B(b)(1)(B) of the Act, that must be reported by LTCHs under the LTCH QRP through the LTCH CARE Data Set.

Short Statement:
We have updated information regarding the current number of Medicare-certified LTCHs in the U.S., as well as the total number of yearly LTCH discharges. The number of Medicare-certified LTCHs has declined from 432 to 426 and discharges declined from 202,635 to 146,592. As a result, the annual burden hours decreased from 196,892 to 135,128. The number of items has changed from V3.00 to V4.00 which resulted in an overall decrease in time burden. We have increased our time estimate from 22.2 to 24.3 minutes for the admission assessment and decreased our time estimate from 26.1 to 21.0 minutes for the discharge assessment. Overall, the combined time estimate decreased from 48.3 minutes for V3.00 to 45.3 minutes for V4.00.
