The Future of Interoperability – and Why You NEED to Care
Speakers:
BJ Boyle, Vice President, Product Management, PointClickCare
Luke Bonney, CEO, Redox
Over the next 15 years, nearly 10,000 people will turn 65 each day; as the "Silver Tsunami" approaches, the demands across Post-Acute Care and the Care Coordination across the Healthcare Continuum will increase dramatically. Managing risk and driving outcomes across an ever-connected continuum for this influx of post-acute patients without real-time visibility integrated into the care team's workflow will be overwhelming.
Additionally, LTPAC providers are beginning to feel unprecedented pressure from their partners on the Hospital and Payer side, as a recently published report shared some eye-opening statistics:
Breaking down silos and creating transparency will be a key differentiator for all LTPAC operators. Find out what PointClickCare, is doing to enable care coordination and strategic interoperability to help you be in a key preferred provider position. And, hear from PointClickCare strategic partner, Redox, on how the Redox Engine is driving the interoperability engine of the future.

Ignite Purpose With Resident Engagement
Speakers:
Abiola Awosanya, BSc TR, Programs Manager, Cedarvale Terrace Long-Term Care Home
Charles de Vilmorin, CEO & C0-Founder, Linked Senior
A 2015 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study shows that senior care residents receive just 11 minutes of daily engagement outside of assistance with activities of daily living. Resident engagement too often fails to meet the needs and preferences of residents resulting in a low quality of life and sense of purpose. This increases isolation, depression, and the use of antidepressant or antipsychotic medications. Providers are also struggling to know who among their residents needs the most engagement. Today's consumers and their families want purposeful engagement, but providers are facing staffing shortages and inadequate funding. Much of the engagement workflow is still done using paper. These obstacles provide an incredible opportunity. Person-centered and therapeutic engagement opportunities can support purposeful living based on a resident’s interests and current capabilities. Responsive Health Management will describe how to operationalize evidence-based, interdisciplinary strategies that have enhanced quality of life for their residents.
Person-centered engagement and programming not only contribute to strengthening residents’ resiliency, but also provide the opportunity for them to enjoy active, engaged, and meaningful lives, as well as potentially delay their progression to higher levels of care. Meaningful engagement allows for better outcomes, staff efficiency, regulatory risk reduction (especially with the new U.S. regulations around person-centered care) and reduction of readmissions.
The session will also highlight current research done in partnership with Responsive Health Management, Baycrest’s Center for Aging and Brain Health Innovation, and Linked Senior.

Senior Living Revenue Recognition for Resident Centered Care
Speakers:
Bobbie Tiedt Donohew, Associate Director of Consulting Services, CEAL, Richter Healthcare Consulting
Murry Mercier, Enterprise Consultant, PointClickCare
Many Senior Living providers are facing an increasingly competitive market, because of widespread construction in anticipation of the baby-boomer generation needing to enter communities.
Today, a typical resident is managing two or more chronic illnesses and co-morbidities. To meet these needs — and to remain competitive — forward thinking providers must think beyond the traditional paradigm of ‘occupancy only’ to care- and service-based programming that responds to the needs of their population. Successful providers will be those who offer care programming that meets the clinical challenges of their population, allowing for longer lengths of stay and fewer discharges to higher levels of care.
Utilizing assessment tools to identify resident needs not only allows the provider to build an effective service plan, but also translates the services into revenue and allows them to track the true costs of providing care and services to their resident occupants.
This session will review the different options Senior Living providers may choose for identifying care needs, building service plans and recognizing revenue derived from service level charges.
Participants will be better able to:

Achieving “STAR” Quality Through Clinical Decision Support
Speakers:
Barbara J. Zarowitz, PharmD, Senior Advisor, The Peter Lamy Center on Drug Therapy and Aging
It’s a sector characterized by complexity — and the challenges faced by long-term care providers in providing consistent, high-quality care are significant. From multiple EHR systems to resource limitations and variation in knowledge and clinical practices, the long-term care sector is incredibly demanding to navigate. In addition to these systemic issues, residents living in long-term care typically have multiple chronic conditions or comorbidities and may struggle in coping with new surroundings, new caregivers and a new way of life. Providing the holistic, resident-centric care that residents deserve can be difficult as conditions become increasingly complex. Care providers are trying to treat these conditions while managing risk, costs, and preventing readmissions into acute-care facilities. However, studies show that innovative clinical solutions have an unmatched ability to close this gap, and when they are integrated into workflows, patient and resident outcomes improve, ultimately benefiting residents, families, homes, and the system at large. This session will explore how novel solutions, such as those provided by Think Research and PointClickCare, are supporting care providers in making evidence-based decisions at the point of care.

Adapting to these new demands requires the use of innovative strategies. With the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) efforts shifting focus from volume to value, it is critical that post-acute care (PAC) providers understand the implications of the numerous reimbursement reforms.

We will look at the various forms of messaging known as Payer Correspondence.
