Clinical Expert Panel – Meetings Continue

On a parallel track with the LTC Planning Process, the Division of Aging and Indiana Medicaid are meeting with the re-assembled Clinical Expert Panel to discuss and recommend changes to Indiana Medicaid Nursing Facility Value Based Purchasing methodology.  So far the meetings have centered around the satisfaction survey process that has been conducted for the past two summers and is entering the third summer.  IHCA expects the panel to take up issues concerning inclusion of QM performance and other clinical measures as part of its evaluation process.
