13 - UNLEASH THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR FACILITY BY STOPPING THE MADNESS OF DATA INSANITY

Speaker: Paige Hector, LMSW, Clinical Educator, Paige Ahead Healthcare Education & Consulting, LLC

Never before have long-term care and post-acute care facilities been held more accountable and more scrutinized internally as well as publicly. Using data to identify, and impact, areas of performance improvement is a crucial component to QAPI success but unfortunately staff get stuck wasting time, and money, comparing this month’s measures to numbers last month or last quarter. We will delve deeper into the data facets of QAPI using real facility examples of falls and the recently reported antipsychotic prescribing data released by CMS. Attendees will receive clear guidance on strategies for change.

Target Audience:  CEO/Administrator, CFO/Finance, DON/Nurse Manager, Resident Services/Social Services, Trustees

15 - THE EFFECT OF SUBSIDIZATION RELIANCE

Speaker: Larry Litman, President, Healthcare System Services

This session will look at the effect subsidization has had on the Arizona Skilled Nursing Industry. What happens to a SNF when one payer does not financially support its own members?  What happens when many payers refuse?  This session will walk you through the changes that continue to take place in the Arizona Industry and address the stresses we face. Perhaps together we can change this direction and make Skilled Nursing Great Again.

Target Audience:  CEO/Administrator, CFO/Finance, DON/Nurse Manager, Trustees, Residents
