Spotlight on Length of Stay (LOS) Savings Not every member will be readmitted, but every member will incur a length of stay. An extensive length of stay, past clinical necessity, can cost significant dollars! The tables below illustrate the potential cost savings to a health plan as a result of implementing the Transitions to SNF program, and seeing a 20% reduction in readmission versus a 20% reduction in length of stay (LOS) with a member pool of 100 members. • Existing client results.

Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) Delivering a coordinated care model for Medicare nursing home long term care (LTC) residents
An Enormous Opportunity to Deliver Better Care for Medicare’s Most Expensive, and Frail Population 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries live in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) 2x SNF-based beneficiaries are more expensive than the average beneficiary 51% of SNF-based Medicare beneficiaries had one or more ER visits (vs. 28% for non-SNF beneficiaries), and had at least one hospitalization (vs. 19% for non-SNF beneficiaries) 33% 3% Only (or about 50,000) of these SNF residents are enrolled in a private Institutional Special Needs Medicare Advantage plan today Confidential property of Optum.

High Costs Are Driven by a Broken Clinical Model for SNF Patients Primary care physicians generallyspend a relatively small amount of time in SNFs, rounding infrequently, instead managing most of their patients remotely via telephone or faxes. The time constraint also results in poor communication and coordination with SNF staff, covering physicians, and specialty providers. Important care elements such as advance directives, goals of care or polypharmacy issues are often not adequately addressed. ChallengingSNF staffing leads tohigher case loads creating fragmented and uncoordinated care. Confidential property of Optum. Do not distribute or reproduce without express permission from Optum.
