Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility - Quality

Sharon Parsley (sparsley@youcompli.com) is Director of Content Development for YouCompli in Ocala, FL.

Section 3004(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act created the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Quality Reporting Program (QRP). The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 requires post-acute care providers to submit quality measure data through use of a sector-specific assessment instrument, which for IRF is the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI). Since 2014, any IRF that fails to submit the required quality measures data has been subject to a 2% reduction in its annual payment update.
