Why the Focus on Person-Centered Care for Short-Stay Patients
PDPM was implemented to focus payment for rehabilitative episodes of care on individual needs and preferences to implement more person-centered care delivery. Since the PDPM model was a wholesale shift in payment and delivery, initial training mechanisms focused on the new system components. Now that those payment components have been adopted, education and training on best-practices for implementing person-centered care should be reviewed to fully adopt CMS’s vision for the PDPM model.
There is a quiz at the end of each of the first three modules that learners must complete with a score of 80% or higher. There also is a final exam at the end of last four-part module that individuals must also pass with a score of 80% or greater in order to receive 5.25 NAB approved CEs for administrators and 4.0 CEs for nurses through the Iowa Board of Nursing.
