Revisiting PDPM: Building compliant and effective Restorative Nursing Programs
While restorative nursing has always been a component of resident care, the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) has caused many skilled nursing providers to reconsider how to structure, implement, and deliver their programs. When discussing Restorative Nursing Programs, it is crucial that skilled nursing providers understand the immense benefits they can offer to not only the overall physical well-being of the patients, but the independence they can achieve by utilizing these programs.
