Skilled Nursing Facility

FOX Rehabilitation delivers positive outcomes. And isn’t that really what it’s all about?

Thomas Jefferson University School of Population Health analyzed the outcomes of 56,000+ older adults with an average age of 83. On average, patients demonstrated a reduced risk for frailty, which is highly predictive of dependence, inability to perform daily activities, falls, hospitalization, poor quality of life—and 5% hospital readmission.

With the FOX post-acute continuum, readmission is reduced to 3.5%.

FOX is the leading provider of Geriatric House Calls™ in physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy. Here are the six reasons why.

Proven Power of the FOX Core

Reduce Readmissions with FOX Geriatric House Calls™

You’re pressured to discharge patients quickly and penalized for rehospitalizations. It’s an impossible tightrope. FOX is the solution. These seemingly contradictory directives leave skilled nursing facilities vulnerable to patient non-compliance with post-discharge outpatient therapy instructions. Strong partnerships with Medicare Part A home health agencies can help, but some patients aren’t eligible due to limited / no need for skilled nursing.

What’s more, the prospective payment system creates incentives for HHAs to discharge patients earlier as well. For some, outpatient rehab centers reimbursed under Medicare Part B are the final option to continue prescribed therapy. But weak and frail patients who present the highest risk of rehospitalization have a very hard time traveling to these outpatient appointments. Research shows that FOX Geriatric House Calls is a solution that drops readmission from 5% to 3.5%.
