According to a Community Hospital Corp. whitepaper, “Long-term Success for LTACH,” acute-care hospitals can gain four main benefits when they fully integrate an LTACH into their strategies:
• Extended continuum of care
• Lowered short-term acute care diagnosis-related group revenue losses
• Cross-utilization of services and resources within the organization’s continuum
• Possibility for recognition by managed care payment structure
“When operational philosophies are consistent and the LTACH is part of an integrated delivery system, patients can be appropriately transitioned with reimbursement reflective of each venue’s purpose, anticipated length of stay and necessary resources,” the whitepaper states.
