This Special Open Door Forum (SODF) will provide information and solicit feedback pertaining to the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (commonly referred to as the IMPACT Act). This SODF will focus on the goals of the IMPACT Act, update attendees on the RAND contract activities for item development, including pilot test results and plans for the upcoming national field test, and identify opportunities for providers, consumers, stakeholders, researchers, and advocates to become involved over the next year.

We invite questions, comments, and ideas from providers, patients, consumers, researchers, and advocates in advance or during the Forum.

Please submit questions, comments, and ideas to: PACQualityInitiative@cms.hhs.gov
