In addition, it includes a proposal to specify a SNF all-cause all-condition hospital readmission measure, as well as a proposal to adopt that measure for a new SNF Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program and a discussion of SNF VBP Program policies, including considering for future rulemaking to promote higher quality and more efficient health care for Medicare beneficiaries.
