Key Findings
Using this strategy, SWHR ACN has continued to increase waiver-related SNF admissions since initiating the program. SWHR’s experience is informative for ACOs that seek to implement or optimize processes for using the SNF three-day rule waiver.
This case study describes the implementation strategy used by Southwestern Health Resources Accountable Care Network (SWHR ACN) for the skilled nursing facility three-day rule waiver, a benefit enhancement for organizations in the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization model. SWHR ACN’s approach focuses on establishing a high quality SNF network, engaging early with multiple stakeholders, developing waiver-implementation workflows, and embedding care managers in SNFs.
