Presented for the American Health Care Association’s Quality Summit
CMS has officially launched the new SNF QRP Validation Program, and skilled nursing facilities are starting to see just how much this next-level audit can shake things up. Unlike past reviews, this isn’t a “quick check”; the validation process digs deep into MDS accuracy, coding, and supporting documentation to make sure your data is rock-solid. Even small mistakes can carry big consequences, including up to a 2% hit to next year’s Annual Payment Update. In other words, everyone on the team has a stake in being audit-ready.
This session is designed for the full interdisciplinary team, because audit readiness isn’t just one person’s responsibility. We’ll break down what’s new in QRP validation, show you where the biggest risks are, and highlight emerging audit trends from 2025. Plus, attendees will get a sneak peek at upcoming changes to QRP and the SNF Value-Based Purchasing Program (VBP) that could affect reporting and reimbursement in 2026.
Attendees will leave with practical, actionable strategies to tighten documentation, streamline workflows across disciplines, and make the most of your facility data to protect both revenue and performance metrics. Through real-world examples, tips, and expert insight, your team will see how a collaborative, proactive approach keeps you ahead of CMS expectations.
By the end of this session, your interdisciplinary team won’t just be ready for audits; they’ll be prepared to tackle them confidently, knowing exactly how to safeguard compliance, optimize performance, and protect your bottom line. Think of it as turning what could be a stressful audit into an opportunity to shine.
