Mapping the GG Journey: Navigating Admission to Expected Outcomes

Section GG is more than a series of individual data points—it tells the story of a resident's functional abilities, progress and expected outcomes. Every GG score influences far more than the MDS itself, affecting reimbursement, Quality Measures, publicly reported outcomes and the resident's overall care journey.

In this webinar, we'll take a practical, real-world look at how Section GG impacts both the Therapy and Nursing components of PDPM, drives Quality Measures and QRP performance and can result in significant reimbursement gains—or losses—when coded inaccurately. Through real-life examples, you'll gain a better understanding of how seemingly small coding decisions can have a lasting clinical and financial impact.

Whether you're an MDS Coordinator, Director of Nursing, Rehab Leader, Administrator or Clinical Reimbursement Specialist, you'll leave with practical strategies to improve coding consistency, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, protect reimbursement and enhance quality outcomes.
