On September 18, 2014, Congress passed the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (the IMPACT Act). The Act requires among, other significant activities, the reporting of standardized patient assessment data with regard to quality measures, resource use, and other measures. It further specifies that the data elements be standardized and interoperable, so as to allow for the exchange of the data among the post-acute care providers and other providers.

During this webinar Sharon will:
- Briefly explain the requirements of the IMPACT Act
of 2014 - Discuss how and why the standardization of the
post-acute providers data (elements) is necessary
to support interoperability - Identify three examples of past changes in the
home health assessment tool, based on the
IMPACT Act mandates, including the implementation
