Why this matters
An 18-hospital system across Georgia reveals meaningful variation in post-acute pathways — and significant shared SNF partners across markets.
Piedmont Healthcare discharges roughly 4,699 fee-for-service patients over 8 trailing quarters to 312 unique skilled nursing facilities across Georgia. This is expected at scale: local referral patterns, patient choice, and geography all create natural variation. What this analysis surfaces is where Piedmont already has shared SNF partners — the 168 cross-system SNFs serving 2 or more Piedmont hospitals — and where Puzzle Healthcare can support the system in extending visibility, alignment, and proactive partnership into the post-acute setting. The framing is straightforward: introduce Puzzle to your downstream SNF network so the right patient gets the right care, faster, with transitions you can see.

Hospital Engagement Priority Ranking — All 18 Piedmont Hospitals
A composite score (0–100) reflecting where Puzzle’s introduction to the downstream SNF network has the most leverage: discharge volume, network breadth, utilization vs. Georgia benchmark, readmission signal, concentration risk, and high-risk SNF exposure. Higher score = stronger fit for early Puzzle partnership. Click column headers to sort.

SNF Util % shows hospital’s share of discharges to SNF compared with Georgia average (14.23%); arrow indicates direction of variance. 30-day readmission shown where reported; suppressed values display as —. Priority bands are relative within the Piedmont 18-hospital system. Data period: Q4 2023–Q3 2025. Augusta Summerville excluded from scoring (below CMS minimum reporting threshold).
Data Sources & Methodology
Primary Data Source
All SNF utilization, volume, and readmission metrics are derived from CMS Medicare FFS Claims data (8Q trailing window: Q4 2023 – Q3 2025). The dataset covers fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries discharged from acute-care hospitals to skilled nursing facilities during the analysis period. Facility metadata (bed count, NPI, CCN, ownership) is sourced from CMS Care Compare and CMS PECOS provider records.
State Benchmarks
Georgia state averages are derived from the same CMS Medicare FFS Claims data window: SNF utilization rate 14.23% (share of acute discharges routed to a SNF) and 30-day all-cause readmission rate 16.43% (readmission from SNF within 30 days of discharge). These figures represent the Georgia-weighted average across all reporting acute hospitals during Q4 2023–Q3 2025.
Opportunity Index
The Opportunity Index is a composite score (0–100) designed to surface where structured post-acute network engagement has the highest expected impact. Components:
- Volume (25 pts) — FFS SNF patient count, scaled relative to system peers
- Utilization vs. GA benchmark (20 pts) — Delta between hospital SNF utilization and GA state average
- 30-day readmission signal (20 pts) — Readmission rate relative to GA state average
- Destination fragmentation (15 pts) — Number of unique SNF destinations (more = more complex)
- Top-2 concentration risk (10 pts) — Share of volume in top 2 SNF partners
- Very-high-risk SNF exposure (10 pts) — Count of SNFs with elevated facility risk scores
Priority tiers: Immediate (≥60), Near-Term (≥35), Monitor (<35).
Low-Volume Exclusions
Piedmont Augusta Summerville Campus (CCN 110039 / NPI 1083616213) is excluded from all system totals. This 27-bed facility falls below CMS minimum reporting thresholds, and all CMS FFS panels return no reportable data. The facility is included in the hospital roster for audit transparency, clearly identified as low-volume.
Cross-System SNF Identification
A SNF is classified as “cross-system” if it appears as a discharge destination for 2 or more Piedmont Healthcare hospitals during the analysis period. The 168 cross-system SNFs and 90 network-wide anchor SNFs (3+ hospitals) are identified through NPI-level matching across all Piedmont hospital discharge records.
