Case Study: How One SNF Meaningfully Improved Its Daily PDPM Rate

As a strategic partner, Functional Pathway seeks to proactively identify opportunities for improvement for our clients. Upon conducting a deep dive analysis of clinical data for one of SNF partners, Functional Pathways uncovered an opportunity for the facility to improve identification and documentation of patients suffering from depression. We partnered with their team to implement a focused, data-driven approach to strengthening depression identification, documentation practices, and interdisciplinary communication.

In this case study, you’ll learn:

• Why depression documentation matters under PDPM
• How proactive analysis of clinical data can reveal opportunities for improvement
• The role therapy teams can play in recognizing potential patient needs
• How strategic partnership can support both patient care and reimbursement accuracy
