A statement of deficiency document uses a federal tag numbering system that addresses the degree to which a facility meets minimal federal standards.

Reduce Rehospitalizations
Concerned about CMS penalties for high readmission rates? According to the Center for Medical Studies, of the 14,959 skilled nursing facilities subject to the CMS’ Skilled Nursing Facility Value-based Purchasing Program, 73% received a penalty while 27% got a bonus. Conversely, facilities that work with Vohra as part of an interdisciplinary team were found to have less than 0.08% rate of wound-related rehospitalization per day and shorter wound episodes.*
Occupancy & Retention
By excelling in wound care management, our facilities are considered preferred locations for patients with serious and/or chronic wounds.
With respect to occupancy and retention of patients, facilities with proven outcomes have an advantage over facilities with high rates of infection and hospital readmission.
Dressing Dispensing Program
Facilities also enjoy access to our Dressing Dispensing Program, which streamlines dressing delivery to patients.
