Phyllis A. Wojtusik, R.N., Director, Post Acute Care & Population Health, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Who’s Paying the Bill? Understanding Today’s Payment Models and the Data you need for a Strong Bottom Line
We ask a lot of questions in post-acute care (PAC) but the most important is "Who's Paying the Bill?" New metrics are making their way into the changing reimbursement system, demanding new data from you. Designed for executive's this concentrated session will explore payers and payment models emerging in the SNF space and the key performance metrics needed for a healthy bottom line.
Explore three major changes in the payer landscape and the key data metrics each demands.
Identify five key data elements you need for success in the changing reimbursement environment.
Welch Allyn
First Things First: Prioritizing Vitals Documentation in Long-Term Care Through Automation
Long Term Care facilities have implemented Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitors to help avoid interruptions and delays, and transmit vitals data wirelessly to the EMR for immediate documentation directly in the resident’s chart within PointClickCare. As a result, facilities have since completely eliminated the use of paper charting, enjoying the ability to access up-to-date resident information anywhere, anytime, and seeing significant time savings.

Speakers:

Tracy D'Andrea, RN, BSN, CRRN, CDP, Regional Director of Quality Assurance, Continuing Healthcare Solutions
During this session, attendees will learn how PointClickCare and the Point of Care (POC) solution can help to maintain compliance. We will demonstrate how our organization has systematically utilized PointClickCare to increase both our Health Inspection Rating and Five-Star rating.
Our behavior tracking has allowed nurses to document that they have provided non-pharmaceutical interventions prior to delivering PRN medications to clients, helping to prevent citations for unnecessary medications. Further, this evaluation helps to develop 24-hour care plans for high-risk areas such as fall, skin, and anticoagulants.
We have also developed a nursing restorative program that begins with a therapy to restorative nursing referral, triggering a restorative assessment. This begins with a functional assessment, selection of a task, followed by implementation of each care plan.
Finally, we will demonstrate how we utilize POC in our facilities to implement fall interventions immediately after a fall, so that information is immediately documented in POC for the STNAs to have access to. We also utilize POC to ensure that resident preferences are honored.

Reducing Hospitalizations Using Physician Engagement: Promoting Interdisciplinary Communication
Speakers:
Michelle Stuercke, RN, MSN, DNP, MPH, LNHA, Chief Nursing Officer, Glen Health & Home
Nancy Hartman, Glen Health and Home
Hospital readmissions continue to be a focus at all levels of care. The current rate of returning to hospitals from post-acute care facilities is approximately 23%. The cost of rehospitalizations to Medicare is approximately 17.5 billion dollars. The affect of rehospitalizations is not only monetary, but physical and emotional as well. Research shows that approximately 45% of these hospitalizations are avoidable.
The facilities to be discussed in this session are post-acute care facilities that specialize in high acuity, including ventilator care, bedside dialysis, and LVADs. These facilities are located in the suburbs of Chicago, with an average census of 190.
At the beginning of 2016 the facilities were not using the INTERACT™ tools nor were they using PointClickCare’s Physician Engagement solution. The return to hospital rate was running as high as 50%. By the end of 2016, after the implementation of both the Change of Condition forms, QI tools and Physician Engagement tools, the return to hospital rate decreased to as low as 16%.
The use of the Change of Condition form for effective communication, as well the physicians’ use of the Physician Engagement tool to review labs, medications, vital signs, and progress notes allowed for a more comprehensive evaluation and treatment for the resident to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Join us to learn more.

High Tech High Touch: Data Informed Engagement – Operationalizing Life Enrichment
Speakers:
Diane Byrne, VP of Program, Development, Training & Operational Oversight, Juniper Communities
Charles de Vilmorin, CEO, Linked Senior
Increased demands from residents, families, referral partners, state, and federal licensing agencies including CMS are pressuring the senior care market like never before to accomplish more with less. One of the top three expectations of these various stakeholders is to advance person-centered care through better engagement and non-pharmacological strategies in measurable and manageable ways. Historically, life enrichment has been a low-tech, paper-based department, working in silos with limited transparency and accountability. This shortcoming presents an almost infinite potential to leverage software and data analytics to operationalize person centric engagement and life enrichment.
By bridging therapeutic and clinical with hospitality best practices, innovative, person-centered approaches have been proven to increase health and vitality for the resident by: helping to build and maintain cognitive reserves; slowing the decline of disease progression; and mitigating and managing behaviors associated with dementia.
These outcomes have a direct and significant positive impact on marketing, referrals, length of stay and resident, family, and associate satisfaction. Forward thinking providers have benefited by seeing: manageable person centered care; increased competitive edge in the marketplace; more efficient medication management; increased compliance, especially around dementia.
Learn how a PointClickCare customer and partner are collaborating to advance life enrichment and engagement through a real-life overview of industry best practices and case studies at Juniper Communities. During this session presenters will delineate the steps needed to operationalize life enrichment.

By bridging therapeutic and clinical with hospitality best practices, innovative, person-centered approaches have been proven to increase health and vitality for the resident by: helping to build and maintain cognitive reserves; slowing the decline of disease progression; and mitigating and managing behaviors associated with dementia.
These outcomes have a direct and significant positive impact on marketing, referrals, length of stay and resident, family, and associate satisfaction. Forward thinking providers have benefited by seeing: manageable person centered care; increased competitive edge in the marketplace; more efficient medication management; increased compliance, especially around dementia.
Learn how a PointClickCare customer and partner are collaborating to advance life enrichment and engagement through a real-life overview of industry best practices and case studies at Juniper Communities. During this session presenters will delineate the steps needed to operationalize life enrichment.

Partner With Your Pharmacy for eMar Success
Speakers:
Nica Erickson, ePharmacy Manager, Consonus Pharmacy
LiAna Tschen, Director of Order Management, Consonus Pharmacy
As an Assisted Living Facility, you are working to attract new residents and keep them safe. A strong medication management program is critical to both of those objectives. Many of you have taken the first step by adopting an EHR and eMAR system. Now, you’re concerned that an integration with your pharmacy provider could be difficult, time consuming, and not really make much of a difference in the end.
The reality is, the benefits of an integration far outweigh the risks. When your eMAR system is integrated with the Pharmacy, it enables your staff to be more effective and efficient in delivering care. Integrations allow medication orders to transmit between pharmacy and facility, resulting in reduced medication errors and improved medication management monitoring.
In this session, you will hear from three unique perspectives — pharmacist, nurse, and eMAR expert — about their collaboration on integration transitions. First-hand experiences will be shared, including the successes and challenges from case study examples. At the completion of this session, attendees will be able to operationalize an eMAR integration process with Pharmacy to improve patient care and safety.

Julie Hendrickson, MSN, RN, CNL, Director of Nursing, Burgess Square Healthcare & Rehab Centre
In this session, attendees will learn how Burgess Square Healthcare has utilized different components of PointClickCare to improve documentation, consistency in protocols, and overall patient care.

This consistent and accurate documentation has been key to ensuring adequate communication between shifts, as well as protecting the facility from liability and state tags.
The use of standing order sets has helped to ensure that nurses can easily identify what protocols are necessary to follow depending on each individual patient's needs. As a result, the facility has been able to better streamline care, improve efficiency, and reduce waste.
Finally, we will discuss how we have utilized the tasks in POC to communicate with patient care technicians what the patients' needs are to ensure more consistent care.

Managed Care for Audit Defense
Speakers:

Jennifer Leatherbarrow, Senior Clinical Consultant, Richter Healthcare Consulting
Managed Care enrollment continues to increase, and with this Long Term Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) providers face additional scrutiny, along with risk for negative findings and recoupment of payment after medical record reviews. Many are not prepared to defend the facility and substantiate the care provided because of a lack of understanding of the many variables in contracting and case management.
This course will address how LTPAC providers should approach all aspects of “managed” care: intake, case management, contracting and billing, clinical documentation and preparation of the medical record for audit.

Antipsychotic Reduction Program: Development to Execution
Speakers:
Katie Castro, Director of Wellness, Juniper Communities
Melissa Ebner, National Director of Wellness, Juniper Communities
Muriel Prucnal, Director of Wellness, Juniper Communities
Reducing the use of antipsychotic drugs among the geriatric population continues to be a primary goal of most healthcare providers. Juniper Communities has developed a program and ‘how-to’ guide to assist communities, offering tools, along with policies and procedures needed to successfully reduce the use of off-label anti-psychotics. Specifically using PointClickCare, Juniper has also developed a psychoactive medication evaluation and consent tool as well as an antipsychotic use form. These tools are utilized to document the history; associated diagnosis; behaviors; past reduction attempts; management tools; diagnostics; and family and physician consent to treatment.
This session will review the CMS requirements for off-label use of antipsychotic utilization. It will then explain the steps utilized in the development of the aforementioned tools along with the implementation process. The session will also include education on behavior management programming with partners in caring, highlighting the success of programs such as music and memory. Finally, the presentation will include methods of data collection from the integrated eMAR management tools to track community statistics.

CDC Core Elements: Standardized Assessments
Speakers:
Vicki Nordby, Nurse Consultant, Marquis Companies
Studies have shown that 70% of nursing home residents receive at least one course of antibiotics per year, while also showing 40-75% of those may be unnecessarily or inappropriately prescribed.
In Skilled Nursing facilities, the majority of antibiotics are prescribed based on communications from the nurses to medical practitioners. Lack of thorough data collection, assessment, and communication leads to inappropriate antibiotic usage and places the population at risk for significant side effects associated with antibiotic usage. Inappropriate and overuse of antibiotics increases risk of Clostridium difficile, adverse drug events, colonization, and increasing antibiotic resistance.
Phase 2 of the CMS “Mega Rule,” which begins November 28, 2017, requires the incorporation of an antibiotic stewardship program as part of infection control programs. In this session you will hear how embedding assessment best practice into daily practice meets a component of the CDC core elements and utilizes a standard assessment and communication tool for residents suspected of having an infection.

Engaging the Scorecard: If You Can Measure It You Can Manage It
Speakers:
John Ellis, Chief Operations Officer, Reliance Healthcare
Lauren Talbot, EHR Implementation Specialist, Reliance Healthcare
Metrics are mere curiosities unless they tell a story that supports or encourages change or improvement.
When you're looking to improve skilled nursing facility outcomes, you'll almost always be trying to measure whether you're doing something better or worse. However, to quantify “better” or “worse,” you need to establish what's quantifiable. And in order to figure out what is quantifiable, you need to understand your facility’s processes.
In fact, one of the most valuable results of setting up a process metrics program is that it forces you to conduct a process analysis, and analyze what it is that you do in order to measure it. Once you understand your process, you can then focus on how to improve on it.
In this session, attendees will gain insight into conducting an effective process analysis from the top down, scoping processes into steps, and reviewing these to determine where processes are delivering less-than desirable outcomes. From there, success lies in planning for improvement using S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based) goals to not only ensure improvement but allow your staff to see “real time” results of their efforts.
After planning for improvement, we’ll discuss how to use metrics to tell your story, increasing your staff’s understanding of these improvement efforts and thereby the overall success of these programs.

Senior Living Management: Preparing for Your Future Success
Speakers:
Bobbie Tiedt Donohew, Associate Director of Consulting Services, Richter Healthcare Consulting
Senior Living providers may have adopted a process of assessing and charging residents for different “tier” levels of service as opposed to utilizing an all-inclusive rental amount. Charging the resident by the level of service provided allows for flexibility in your pricing structure, and tells the resident that they are only being charged for the services they are receiving. However, providers may not have really determined if the charges applied actually cover the value of the services rendered.
As the Baby Boomer generation begins to populate the Senior Living market, providers will need to analyze the true costs of providing care and services to their resident occupants. This course will review the different options Senior Living providers may choose for tracking and recognizing revenue derived from service level charges.

What Your Local Health System Is Trying to Do and Why It Is Worth It to You
Speakers:
Skelly Wingard, Continuum Administrator, Kaiser, Permanente in Northern California
Phyllis A. Wojtusik, R.N., Director, Post Acute Care & Population Health, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Moderator: BJ Boyle, Director, Product Management, Analytics, PointClickCare
In today’s post-acute landscape, there is a growing delta between the facts and the fiction surrounding what hospitals and health systems want from providers and what providers think they want. During this conversation, attendees will learn what progressive health systems are attempting to do, how they are behaving from an operational and strategic perspective, and how providers can benefit from a closer second look at why it matters and how to turn these relationships into strategic allies.
What attendees will gain from this panel discussion:
An understanding of the type of criteria health systems are looking at, beyond 5 Star Ratings, as they choose their Post-Acute Partners.
How PointClickCare is working with the Health Systems as an advocate for Providers.
How much control sits with Providers to define these partnerships,

Who’s Paying the Bill? Understanding Today’s Payment Models and the Data you need for a Strong Bottom Line
We ask a lot of questions in post-acute care (PAC) but the most important is "Who's Paying the Bill?" New metrics are making their way into the changing reimbursement system, demanding new data from you. Designed for executive's this concentrated session will explore payers and payment models emerging in the SNF space and the key performance metrics needed for a healthy bottom line.
Explore three major changes in the payer landscape and the key data metrics each demands.
Identify five key data elements you need for success in the changing reimbursement environment.
Welch Allyn
First Things First: Prioritizing Vitals Documentation in Long-Term Care Through Automation
Long Term Care facilities have implemented Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitors to help avoid interruptions and delays, and transmit vitals data wirelessly to the EMR for immediate documentation directly in the resident’s chart within PointClickCare. As a result, facilities have since completely eliminated the use of paper charting, enjoying the ability to access up-to-date resident information anywhere, anytime, and seeing significant time savings.

Navigate Regulatory Changes Like a Mad Hatter
Speakers:
Deborah Langford, RN, BAC-CT, C-NE, Continuing Healthcare Solutions
Tracy D'Andrea, RN, BSN, CRRN, CDP, Regional Director of Quality Assurance, Continuing Healthcare Solutions
During this session, attendees will learn how PointClickCare and the Point of Care (POC) solution can help to maintain compliance. We will demonstrate how our organization has systematically utilized PointClickCare to increase both our Health Inspection Rating and Five-Star rating.
Our behavior tracking has allowed nurses to document that they have provided non-pharmaceutical interventions prior to delivering PRN medications to clients, helping to prevent citations for unnecessary medications. Further, this evaluation helps to develop 24-hour care plans for high-risk areas such as fall, skin, and anticoagulants.
We have also developed a nursing restorative program that begins with a therapy to restorative nursing referral, triggering a restorative assessment. This begins with a functional assessment, selection of a task, followed by implementation of each care plan.
Finally, we will demonstrate how we utilize POC in our facilities to implement fall interventions immediately after a fall, so that information is immediately documented in POC for the STNAs to have access to. We also utilize POC to ensure that resident preferences are honored.

Reducing Hospitalizations Using Physician Engagement: Promoting Interdisciplinary Communication
Speakers:
Michelle Stuercke, RN, MSN, DNP, MPH, LNHA, Chief Nursing Officer, Glen Health & Home
Nancy Hartman, Glen Health and Home
Hospital readmissions continue to be a focus at all levels of care. The current rate of returning to hospitals from post-acute care facilities is approximately 23%. The cost of rehospitalizations to Medicare is approximately 17.5 billion dollars. The affect of rehospitalizations is not only monetary, but physical and emotional as well. Research shows that approximately 45% of these hospitalizations are avoidable.
The facilities to be discussed in this session are post-acute care facilities that specialize in high acuity, including ventilator care, bedside dialysis, and LVADs. These facilities are located in the suburbs of Chicago, with an average census of 190.
At the beginning of 2016 the facilities were not using the INTERACT™ tools nor were they using PointClickCare’s Physician Engagement solution. The return to hospital rate was running as high as 50%. By the end of 2016, after the implementation of both the Change of Condition forms, QI tools and Physician Engagement tools, the return to hospital rate decreased to as low as 16%.
The use of the Change of Condition form for effective communication, as well the physicians’ use of the Physician Engagement tool to review labs, medications, vital signs, and progress notes allowed for a more comprehensive evaluation and treatment for the resident to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Join us to learn more.

High Tech High Touch: Data Informed Engagement – Operationalizing Life Enrichment
Speakers:
Diane Byrne, VP of Program, Development, Training & Operational Oversight, Juniper Communities
Charles de Vilmorin, CEO, Linked Senior
Increased demands from residents, families, referral partners, state, and federal licensing agencies including CMS are pressuring the senior care market like never before to accomplish more with less. One of the top three expectations of these various stakeholders is to advance person-centered care through better engagement and non-pharmacological strategies in measurable and manageable ways. Historically, life enrichment has been a low-tech, paper-based department, working in silos with limited transparency and accountability. This shortcoming presents an almost infinite potential to leverage software and data analytics to operationalize person centric engagement and life enrichment.
By bridging therapeutic and clinical with hospitality best practices, innovative, person-centered approaches have been proven to increase health and vitality for the resident by: helping to build and maintain cognitive reserves; slowing the decline of disease progression; and mitigating and managing behaviors associated with dementia.
These outcomes have a direct and significant positive impact on marketing, referrals, length of stay and resident, family, and associate satisfaction. Forward thinking providers have benefited by seeing: manageable person centered care; increased competitive edge in the marketplace; more efficient medication management; increased compliance, especially around dementia.
Learn how a PointClickCare customer and partner are collaborating to advance life enrichment and engagement through a real-life overview of industry best practices and case studies at Juniper Communities. During this session presenters will delineate the steps needed to operationalize life enrichment.

Partner With Your Pharmacy for eMar Success
Speakers:
Nica Erickson, ePharmacy Manager, Consonus Pharmacy
LiAna Tschen, Director of Order Management, Consonus Pharmacy
As an Assisted Living Facility, you are working to attract new residents and keep them safe. A strong medication management program is critical to both of those objectives. Many of you have taken the first step by adopting an EHR and eMAR system. Now, you’re concerned that an integration with your pharmacy provider could be difficult, time consuming, and not really make much of a difference in the end.
The reality is, the benefits of an integration far outweigh the risks. When your eMAR system is integrated with the Pharmacy, it enables your staff to be more effective and efficient in delivering care. Integrations allow medication orders to transmit between pharmacy and facility, resulting in reduced medication errors and improved medication management monitoring.
In this session, you will hear from three unique perspectives — pharmacist, nurse, and eMAR expert — about their collaboration on integration transitions. First-hand experiences will be shared, including the successes and challenges from case study examples. At the completion of this session, attendees will be able to operationalize an eMAR integration process with Pharmacy to improve patient care and safety.

Requests for medical records are on the rise. From litigation to audits, providers are regularly required to provide and attest to the accuracy of the medical records of their residents. This session will highlight the challenges and opportunities provided by the use of EHR technology. Specifically, it will discuss the production of clinical records required in connection with audits, regulatory matters and legal claims. The session will address specific issues relating to the production of the clinical record including export distortion, eDiscovery, and audit trails. As the use of EHRs becomes ubiquitous, providers must understand how to manage the risks and adapt their policies and procedures.
Attendees will learn:
How to understand, identify, and manage the key differences between the production of records from traditional paper and digital/EHRs.
How to adapt your document and record retention policies to address the unique elements of electronic medical records.
How to make use of both the technology and the legal framework to reinforce your retention and disclosure policies.

Partners at different care levels create pathways to transition people effectively and improve clinical outcomes. This helps all of those providers in the partnership to mutually benefit through better outcomes. A successful Virtual CCRC assists each provider in marketing their own services while ensuring that residents are directed to the most appropriate setting sooner.

Maximizing PointClickCare’s Capabilities in an Independently Owned Skilled Facility
Speakers:
Kristin Thrun, Administrator, Burgess Square Healthcare & Rehab Centre
Julie Hendrickson, MSN, RN, CNL, Director of Nursing, Burgess Square Healthcare & Rehab Centre
In this session, attendees will learn how Burgess Square Healthcare has utilized different components of PointClickCare to improve documentation, consistency in protocols, and overall patient care.
The use of both user defined assessments and structured progress notes has improved the accuracy of documentation across all disciplines. This consistent and accurate documentation has been key to ensuring adequate communication between shifts, as well as protecting the facility from liability and state tags.
The use of standing order sets has helped to ensure that nurses can easily identify what protocols are necessary to follow depending on each individual patient's needs. As a result, the facility has been able to better streamline care, improve efficiency, and reduce waste.
Finally, we will discuss how we have utilized the tasks in POC to communicate with patient care technicians what the patients' needs are to ensure more consistent care.

Managed Care for Audit Defense
Speakers:

Managed Care enrollment continues to increase, and with this Long Term Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) providers face additional scrutiny, along with risk for negative findings and recoupment of payment after medical record reviews. Many are not prepared to defend the facility and substantiate the care provided because of a lack of understanding of the many variables in contracting and case management.
This course will address how LTPAC providers should approach all aspects of “managed” care: intake, case management, contracting and billing, clinical documentation and preparation of the medical record for audit.

CDC Core Elements: Standardized Assessments
Speakers:
Vicki Nordby, Nurse Consultant, Marquis Companies
Studies have shown that 70% of nursing home residents receive at least one course of antibiotics per year, while also showing 40-75% of those may be unnecessarily or inappropriately prescribed.
In Skilled Nursing facilities, the majority of antibiotics are prescribed based on communications from the nurses to medical practitioners. Lack of thorough data collection, assessment, and communication leads to inappropriate antibiotic usage and places the population at risk for significant side effects associated with antibiotic usage. Inappropriate and overuse of antibiotics increases risk of Clostridium difficile, adverse drug events, colonization, and increasing antibiotic resistance.
Phase 2 of the CMS “Mega Rule,” which begins November 28, 2017, requires the incorporation of an antibiotic stewardship program as part of infection control programs. In this session you will hear how embedding assessment best practice into daily practice meets a component of the CDC core elements and utilizes a standard assessment and communication tool for residents suspected of having an infection.

Engaging the Scorecard: If You Can Measure It You Can Manage It
Speakers:
John Ellis, Chief Operations Officer, Reliance Healthcare
Lauren Talbot, EHR Implementation Specialist, Reliance Healthcare
Metrics are mere curiosities unless they tell a story that supports or encourages change or improvement.
When you're looking to improve skilled nursing facility outcomes, you'll almost always be trying to measure whether you're doing something better or worse. However, to quantify “better” or “worse,” you need to establish what's quantifiable. And in order to figure out what is quantifiable, you need to understand your facility’s processes.
In fact, one of the most valuable results of setting up a process metrics program is that it forces you to conduct a process analysis, and analyze what it is that you do in order to measure it. Once you understand your process, you can then focus on how to improve on it.
In this session, attendees will gain insight into conducting an effective process analysis from the top down, scoping processes into steps, and reviewing these to determine where processes are delivering less-than desirable outcomes. From there, success lies in planning for improvement using S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based) goals to not only ensure improvement but allow your staff to see “real time” results of their efforts.
After planning for improvement, we’ll discuss how to use metrics to tell your story, increasing your staff’s understanding of these improvement efforts and thereby the overall success of these programs.

Senior Living Management: Preparing for Your Future Success
Speakers:
Bobbie Tiedt Donohew, Associate Director of Consulting Services, Richter Healthcare Consulting
Senior Living providers may have adopted a process of assessing and charging residents for different “tier” levels of service as opposed to utilizing an all-inclusive rental amount. Charging the resident by the level of service provided allows for flexibility in your pricing structure, and tells the resident that they are only being charged for the services they are receiving. However, providers may not have really determined if the charges applied actually cover the value of the services rendered.
As the Baby Boomer generation begins to populate the Senior Living market, providers will need to analyze the true costs of providing care and services to their resident occupants. This course will review the different options Senior Living providers may choose for tracking and recognizing revenue derived from service level charges.
