Improving Reimbursement Performance and Quality Outcomes Through Weekly Management

A Wisconsin multi-facility operator is seeing strong, fast-moving results after implementing a structured weekly management process with Engage Consulting. Within just one quarter, they achieved:

• +$54 PDPM increase per resident day (Medicare Part A average)

   

• Up to +$11.54 per resident day Medicaid gains in select buildings

   

• Early upward trends in Quality Measures with projected star rating improvements

These results highlight how a disciplined, real-time management approach can quickly improve both reimbursement and quality outcomes.
