The SNF VBP Program’s Hospital Readmission Measure
The SNF VBP Program awards incentive payments to SNFs based on their performance on the SNF 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Measure (SNFRM; NQF #2510). The SNFRM measures the rate of all-cause, unplanned hospital readmissions for SNF residents within 30 days of discharge from a prior hospital stay. The SNFRM is risk adjusted for stay-level factors including clinical and demographic characteristics. Each SNF receives a SNFRM score for a baseline period and a performance period. The following table provides the baseline and performance periods for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 through FY 2022, as finalized through the federal rulemaking process.
