9. Why Meds2Home….
Meds2Home was created to assist Medicare Skilled
Nursing Facilities or Hospitals with Discharges to home,
independent living or assisted living facilities.
We know Medications, their use, and/or failure to
continue usage as properly prescribed by their physician
contributes significantly to hospital re-admissions after
skilled nursing discharge.
We know the role of nursing homes has changed.
Facilities are increasingly dedicated to transitioning older
adults from the hospital back to their own homes. Short
term stays has grown tremendously in the last 10 years.
10. What We Know….
20% of Medicare patients discharged from hospitals to
skilled nursing facilities are “re-hospitalized” for
conditions that could have potentially been avoided.
40% of these patients being “re-hospitalized” are due to
medication errors.
MEDPAC is currently tracking the “re-hospitalizations”
rates for nursing home residents, and are monitoring the
“rates for residents with potentially avoidable conditions”
As a part of the Affordable Care Act, MEDPAC wants to
target and penalize skilled nursing providers with
aberrant patterns of “re-hospitalizations” Specifically duel
eligible's.
11. What We Know….
According to MEDPAC, Medicare payments to PAC providers
totaled $59 billion in 2013, more than doubling since 2001,
and the agency spends nearly as much on post-acute care
and readmissions in the first 30 days after discharge as it
does for the initial hospital admission.
As a part of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014,
skilled nursing facilities are required to begin public
reporting of re-admission rates starting October 1, 2017.
That CMS will begin withholding 2% of all SNF Medicare
payments starting October 1, 2018, and CMS will then re-
distribute 50-70% of the withheld back to SNF’s by way of
incentive payments to high performing facility providers with
reduced hospital re-admissions.
12. How Meds2Home Can Help….
Meds2Home is intended to make handling and directing
resident medications upon discharge easy, simple and
cost effective.
Meds2Home will work directly with the facility discharge
planner, nursing department or other designee.
Meds2Home shall communicate and coordinate with the
resident’s home health care provider to insure a complete
and accurate medication listing, providing a MAR and a
drug interaction report upon discharge from a skilled
facility.
Meds2Home shall provide these reports regularly to
ensure better patient outcomes.
Medication is packaged in our Unit-Dose packaging
system called UneekDose.
13. How Meds2Home Can Help….
Meds2Home will decrease the chance of readmission due
to medication errors or missed doses.
Meds2Home will serve as the communicator between the
Home Health Company, Nursing Facility, and Doctors
office to make sure that each patients has their
medications upon discharge and each month thereafter.

Skilled Nursing and Hospitals
Lower the risk of re-admission due to medication errors PAC,
lowering the risk of being penalized.
Run drug interactions before sending medications, lowering the
risk of an adverse effects of medications.
No more 3 day medication supplies during discharge. Meds2Home
will send medication to the Hospitals, SNF, or patients home day of
discharge.
Home Health Companies
Meds2Home will decrease the time it takes the nurse to do medication
reconciliation post discharge.
Med Reconciliations can take up to an hour post discharge, with
Meds2Home this can take as little as a few minutes giving the nurse
more time to further access the patient and increase quality of care.
The MAR provided by Meds2Home will alert the HHC if there are any
discrepancies before they get to the home.
