With 32 years of experience in Long Term Care and 26 years of experience in the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) and Minimum Data Set (MDS) processes, Raser will add tremendous strength and depth to the LW team. She will focus on MDS review, coding accuracy units, monthly oversight of the MDS process, billing compliance audits, RAC reviews, mock surveys, five Star Rating reviews, Case-Mix reviews, interim staffing and recruiting.
"Terry was an incredible help and resource with RNAC training and consulting for my staff in multiple facilities I have worked with over the years," said Gary Heinrich, NHA, MBA, and Director at LW Consulting. "She consistently did an excellent job and is very well respected in the Long Term Care field for her knowledge and ability to access, support and train others."
This is an interesting time to be in the health care industry. Technology is advancing rapidly, as are the rules and regulations that govern its use. These have a particularly strong impact on care providers. The Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) and Medicaid Case Mix Payment Systems rely on the accuracy of the MDS. However, the process of monitoring these systems can be time consuming, and not all providers can give it their full attention. As hospitals and medical centers face more demand from newly-insured patients, providers will likely find themselves even more stretched.
LW Consulting team members understand what providers face today. We work with staff members to help them improve their systems and ensure better regulatory compliance.
Raser's deep knowledge of the MDS process and case mix systems will benefit both new and existing clients. She will be able to assist care providers as they train to oversee payments and improve compliance.
