3-Day Rule Waiver Flag Overview
Managing patients eligible for the 3DW supports admission to a SNF directly from the ED or Observation. When clinically appropriate, the ACO can facilitate transition to a SNF without the requisite 3-day inpatient stay. Identifying these patients can support both improved patient outcomes and decreased total cost of care.
