Frequent communication between insurers and CNS staff in admissions, accounting, and clinical/medical departments, once the patient is admitted.
Inclusion of insurer staff on meetings/calls that update stakeholders on patient progress, medications, physician appointments, and health status.
Updates on patient Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Independent Living Scale (ILS) scores that reflect patient status.
