Overview
Virginia’s Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (NF VBP) program is evolving, and providers must understand both the upcoming SFY 2028 methodology changes and the critical role of CMS reporting in driving performance outcomes. In the opening session of this four-part webinar series, VHCA-VCAL’s Chief Quality & Regulatory Affairs Officer April Payne will provide a comprehensive overview of the SFY 2028 NF VBP program changes, including the transition to national benchmarks, methodology updates, performance measurement changes, and what providers need to know to assess the potential impact on their organizations.
Following the VBP program update, and throughout the remainder of the four-part series, Lisa Thomson will guide you through the direct connection between CMS reporting, publicly reported quality measures, provider performance, and VBP outcomes. You will learn how reporting accuracy, data submission practices, and evolving CMS quality initiatives influence facility performance and reimbursement. The series will also provide practical strategies to help providers stay current with changing CMS requirements, strengthen data integrity, and use performance data to support quality improvement and VBP success.
