Audience: Medical Records/HIM, CIO, CISO, In-House Counsel, DON, Administrator, Manager

Knowledge Level: Intermediate

Session details: Let’s face it, litigation is an inevitability in long term care. But your understanding of the EHR, how you manage your database and the workflows employed by staff, can have a material impact on discovery, deposition, and the trial outcomes. Not only does this impact the production of complete records for litigation, but also how staff respond in deposition. Understanding how you can optimize your system for success in litigation and implement setup and workflow processes to promote regulatory compliance AND defensibility in court is integral to this process and protecting the facility and the individual documenters making up your workforce.

When you complete this 2-part (3.5hr part 1 + 1hr lunch + 2.5hr part 2) session, you should be able to:

Demonstrate the required shift in thinking of record keeping in digital formats and how that affects response to litigation
Articulate what managing EHR data means within the context of producing records for review
Identify and eliminate pitfalls to defense
Adapt staff training to mitigate litigation risk from documentation.

Note: Participants should bring a laptop for hands-on activities.

PointClickCare Theater: Practitioner Engagement: Web and Mobile

Registration for this presentation is NOT required.

Practitioner Engagement is changing the way physicians work and simplifying EHRs for practitioners to ensure more consistent levels of care and pr…

Caregiving in the SNF setting can be challenging because practitioners do not always receive the necessary information to make care decisions. Order management places a burden on nursing staff and it is difficult to get orders signed in time for Telephone/Verbal Orders. Additionally, practitioners are spending on average 15.6 hours per week on paperwork and other administrative tasks, which translates to fewer interactions with their patients.

This session will emphasize the importance of facilitating a streamlined mobile and web EHR documentation experience for practitioners and patients as they move through the care continuum. Make confident decisions to achieve better outcomes faster. Intuitive data-driven insights and best-practice workflows can enable better care everywhere. Come to our session to find out how.

Breakout Session: Chief Engagement Officer is a Verb, not a Noun

Meaningful resident engagement has become a core business priority in senior living, is foundational to person-centered care and has been shown to be effective for decades. Yet, it still remains the least managed side of senior living operations at the cost of our residents, care partners and businesses. Successful operators allow their team to love their job again and reconnect with their passion by empowering them with efficiencies and real data and insights on how they can optimize resident engagement, enable further interdisciplinary teamwork and get credit for their success. Being the Chief Engagement Officer (CEO) of a senior living community is an action, not a title. Hear from Tina Sandri, MHSA, NHA, QCP, Chief Executive Officer of Forest Hills of DC on how she creates engagement herself, with those she leads, and with the greater community outside of Forest Hills to support life enrichment/activities teams and the resident experience. Charles de Vilmorin, CEO and Co-founder of Linked Senior, will share market level trends and concepts and provide a glimpse into the future of leadership-led resident engagement. Key takeaways will include operationally sound person-centered approaches and business processes to measure, support and improve an organization-wide framework to advance meaningful resident engagement.

ROP Phase II and III require providers to use data to drive key operational decisions regarding process improvement and the center’s day-to-day operations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and delayed survey/oversight activities, many offices have delayed enforcement of these requirements. More than ever, providers are expected to do more work with less as funding and staffing challenges continue to persist beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Providers can leverage data within their own software to improve key processes, resulting in improved resident outcomes, increased staff efficiency, and continued regulatory compliance.

Registration for this presentation is NOT required.

The healthcare ecosystem is fragmented – a disjointed mix of providers, systems, and data that lack coordination, leading to higher costs, poor staff and patient experience, and inconsistent care. However, our mission is to connect providers across the continuum, making sure the right people get the right information when they need it to improve resident transitions of care and reduce re-admissions.

In this session, learn how PointClickCare Connect helps you tap into the provider network to improve resident transitions of care and reduce re-admissions by:

Reviewing critical data, like progress notes or medications, allowing you to evaluate referrals with speed and confidence
Seamless reconciliation of clinical data saving hours in your admissions process
Real-time alerts when your discharged resident arrives at an ED allowing you to intervene

3:15 pm – 4:00 pm PDT

Breakout Session: Achieve Better Outcomes with Better Insights

The use of the companion application and mobile real-time documentation increases the accuracy of resident care provided and frequency in which services occur. The companion application will provide the ability for nurses and staff caring for residents to have awareness of instructions for personal task and medication administration needed for goal outcomes to be met. Imagine the nurse having the ability to view complex treatment instructions and IV medication administration instructions while in room preforming these tasks. Imagine the ability to document in the palm of your hand each time your staff provide task based care assistance to the resident. The companion application will provide staff with increased opportunity to document care provide and time tracking where needed. Imagine the CNA is working with the resident to calm behavior outbursts and the task for standard behavior management is completed to inform the nurse in real-time of resident behavior with a warning built into the task (as determined by organization). The smart bell informs of resident behaviors and need for intervention of medication and the nurse provides the medication at the appropriate time. In documenting the medication, the nurse is able to link the behaviors and interventions to the medication administration.

Breakout Session: Defining the Future of Senior Care? Technology and Integrated Systems are Key

The last two years have not been kind to the senior care sector with both internal staffing and care issues and external perceptions leaving a mark on the industry. So how can the industry change this perception and move the needle to the positive? The recent rise in technology adoption, spending, and healthcare innovation in senior care is a catalyst for improving resident-centred care and increasing engagement and transparency with residents and their families. While at first glance an increase in technology may seem counterintuitive to better in-person care, the data and insights created, along with the time automation and interoperability, staff are given more direct time with residents. As technology adoption becomes even more prevalent in senior care, data, tools and systems can be used to the advantage of residents and staff alike, leading not only to improved healthcare outcomes for residents but to happier, more engaged healthcare teams.

Breakout Session: Integrated Telehealth: Transforming Clinical Outcomes from Admission to Discharge

The unfulfilled promise of telemedicine has left many LTPAC providers disappointed. Technology challenges and poor adoption have resulted in lackluster results and poor clinical outcomes. But now, thanks to EHR integration, LTPAC providers are cracking the telemedicine code with dramatic results.

You’ll hear from Sound Physicians and HSM (Health Services Management) about the power of fully integrated Virtual Health to improve transitions of care to and from your community, treat more patients in place, support anxious patients and family members, and manage necessary returns to acute so residents can return to your community quickly, often without costly readmissions.

We’ll share anecdotes, case studies, data, and ROI information that may change your mind about telehealth. Whether you already have a telehealth solution or just looking to get started, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Session Outcomes:

Participants will be able to identify how integrated telehealth can improve clinical outcomes for patients during transitions of care, including admission, emergency department transfers, and discharge, and understand the organizational and financial benefits these improvements bring.
Participants will understand the change management process for implementing an integrated telehealth program and the impact a program can make on all stakeholders, including frontline nurses, residents, families, referral partners, medical directors/attendings, and operators.
Participants will be able to differentiate between integrated virtual health and standard telehealth solutions, evaluate the level of integration their current solution provides, and assess what changes they could make to improve the telehealth program in their community.

Breakout Session: Legal Documentation 101: How to Protect Yourself and Your Staff

All Documentation is Legal Documentation, and all Documentation has the potential to be Evidence. Did you know 80-85% of all medical malpractice claims are determined based on the medical record alone? This means that in 80-85% of the time, your organization is dependent on the documentation your staff has completed to prove your case. Clear, complete, contemporaneous, and accurate documentation is the backbone of care delivery. Bad documentation can break the back of litigation and cost you money. In this session, we will review the regulatory requirements for documentation, what is the expected set of professional standards, provide guidance on the pitfalls of documentation, and also, share the impact of poor documentation on facilities’ litigation efforts. During this session we will discuss additional documentation requirements that you might not have thought of but should track during events such as COVID-19 to protect yourselves.

Breakout Session: Mastering Negotiation: How to Properly Negotiate with Managed Care Companies

When we think about negotiation, it often brings to mind people in suits, slamming their fists down on large oak tables demanding concessions. The truth is, we are constantly negotiating. A meeting with your boss, a phone call with someone selling you a service or product, sometimes we even negotiate with our family. In this session we will learn about actual Managed Care negotiations, and how to succeed in your next tough meeting!

Breakout Session: Remote Patient Monitoring: Transforming Clinical Outcomes

Breathing rate is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality. However, is the most difficult vital sign to measure accurately and consistently. Current methods of measuring breathing rates, the most common being manual counting, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error prone. Add to this our current staffing crisis, and these manual spot checks are often performed hastily and infrequently, leading to inaccuracies, missed diagnoses, and preventable deaths. In this session, we will discuss how PointClickCare and Circadia Health’s integration is enabling care staff with access to the necessary clinical history to make more informed and personalized care assessments. This session will highlight how LTC facilities using PointClickCare and Circadia Health have been able to effectively establish a bridge between remote and on-site services, allowing for better collaboration, communication, and coordination, ultimately resulting in up to a 30% reduction in hospital readmissions.

Breakout Session: HIPAA Changes–What You Need to Know About the New Proposed Regulations

It has been many years since we have seen significant changes to HIPAA but in December 2020, the OCR issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a number of changes to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The suggested policy changes are significant to aligning the rules with the requirements for access and sharing of resident information established with the CURES Act. The expected implementation of these new rules is 2022 and, some of the changes will require care and thought in training and implementation and significant policy and procedure updates. In this session, we will review the changes, their relevance to the skilled market industry and nursing home operations.

Breakout Session: Proactive Communication Strategies to Impact Engagement and Satisfaction

During the COVID-19 pandemic, providers acted with resiliency and ingenuity to maintain communication with family members and other key stakeholders. Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, regulatory changes and staffing challenges, providers have been asked again and again to do more with less. In the case of communication, studies have shown that more is more. Providers can leverage technology to efficiently engage in more frequent and positive communication with families and key stakeholders to improve satisfaction and perception of their communities.

Breakout Session: We’re not Great At PDPM yet! Using Data & Tools to Improve Care and Reimbursement

PDPM has made it difficult to identify the impact therapy has on reimbursement; however, a deeper investigation shows the importance of analyzing therapy data and coordinating effectively across SNF departments to improve care and optimize reimbursement. This session will share examples of how timing, accuracy of care plan data, and cross-departmental communication can negatively impact quality of care and reimbursement while providing best practices for optimizing data/processes.

Breakout Session: Advanced Directives: Improving Access to Critical Information in an Emergency

According to media reports, you would have believed poor care and services led to the incredible number of deaths in the skilled nursing industry as a result of COVID. Yet did you know that 80% of those who died during COVID were DNRs? In spite of horrible circumstances, nursing homes met the end-of-life care wishes of their residents to the best of their abilities. Advance Directives and Code Status are extremely important pieces of information for care and services. They improve access to the right information, in an emergency, to ensure end-of-life wishes are met. Getting the right information can make the difference between life and death when it is not clearly stated or not included in the EHR.

Breakout Session: First Impressions: Why your Reputation & Revenue Depend on your Admissions Process

For residents and families, there are universal feelings of stress, anxiety and fear when entering a long-term care facility. Standard admissions procedures do little to recognize these emotions, and in some ways may even unintentionally reinforce them. All ongoing customer service experiences are colored by the those critical first moments. Facilities have made great strides to modernize the look and feel of the building, but one glaring element that is often overlooked is the admissions process. This session will demonstrate the ripple effect on facility census, reputation, and revenue capture when technology is used to enhance the admissions experience. Learn how to leverage PointClickCare and Marketplace partners to be intentional with your welcome plan, resulting in a more dignified/streamlined admission for your residents and families, and more accountable/transparent outcomes for your business.

Breakout Session: Four Considerations for ML/AI in Clinical Decision Making and Care Coordination

While advanced technology like machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) once felt like tools of the future, these technologies are gaining rapid adoption in software systems utilized by clinicians to assist in the decision-making process. Before these tools land in your clinicians’ hands, staff must understand the similarities and differences between the ways humans and machines use data to make decisions. In this session, the similarities and differences in decision making from a human consultative perspective and an ML perspective will be outlined. The session will also highlight the importance of understanding the interpretability of predictive models and why teaching clinicians how to explain these learnings to lay people is important. Finally, the session will highlight lessons learned from the introduction of a ML model for predicting return to hospital to the care coordination team of a hospital network and the clinical team in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). A case study will be reviewed to outline the initial challenges, how to gain trust, questions to ask before undertaking implementation of ML, and how these advanced technologies have dramatically impacted care.
