CMI-Sync

Real-Time Acuity Tracking for Medicaid Case Mix

Medicaid CMI shifts throughout a resident’s stay, not just at assessment time.

Clinical conditions evolve. Functional ability fluctuates. Documentation across disciplines can drift. And manual review often fails to surface meaningful acuity changes in time to act.

CMI-Sync gives teams real-time visibility into acuity as it changes, so ARD decisions and CMI categories remain accurate and defensible.

CMI Is Dynamic Not Static

CMI accuracy does not break because teams miss care. It breaks because acuity changes occur between assessment windows and documentation evolves continuously across nursing, therapy, and provider notes.

Functional decline, behavior changes, and new clinical conditions can meaningfully impact CMI days or weeks before an ARD captures them.

When visibility lags behind those changes, ARD decisions become reactive, documentation weakens, and Medicaid reimbursement becomes less predictable.

This is a visibility problem not an operational one.

Why CMI Accuracy Breaks in Skilled Nursing

Even strong reimbursement teams struggle when:

Acuity changes occur between scheduled assessments

Functional documentation is inconsistent across disciplines

Therapy, nursing, and provider notes drift apart

ARD timing decisions are made without full clinical visibility

Manual reviews miss subtle but meaningful acuity cues

State-specific CMI models add complexity

Documentation does not fully support observed acuity

These are not performance failures. They are visibility failures created by how Medicaid CMI is managed today.

CMI-Sync restores that visibility.
