Effective Oct. 1, 2019, the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) will replace resource utilization groups (RUGs) and will drive changes in markets and operational practices for providers and vendors.

In some markets and for many providers, the changes will be significant and require an assessment of facility operating systems and culture.
