CMS has scheduled a September 15, 2016 Special Open Door Forum call on the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act). This call will provide an overview of the IMPACT Act's requirement for standardization of patient assessment data across post-acute care settings, and solicit input on the ways the IMPACT Act can help improve care coordination. In a related development, an October 13, 2016 CMS national provider call will cover how data elements are used in IMPACT Act measure development.
