  Ferdinand Richards and Patty Collier
Dr. Ferdinand Richards and Patty Collier from Florida’s Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (FMQAI) discuss the Case Management Assignment Protocol (CMAP), a program developed in 2003 designed with the following goals in mind: reducing denials and write-offs; streamlining utilization review, case management, and discharge planning; strengthening collaboration for improved patient care; documenting, analyzing and profiling each step of the case management process. Today, CMAP, if implemented correctly, serves to assist hospitals in reducing their risk for repayment of Medicare funds as a result of the Recovery Audit Contracting program established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Hospitals committed to using CMAP have been shown to reduce inappropriate admissions by 91 percent.
