We have scheduled two new webinars in our countdown to Oct. 1 PDPM Implementation: Common MDS Coding and Scheduling Errors and Diagnosis Coding for Payment in PDPM. And don’t forget to register for one of four workshops specifically focused on a Team Approach to Operationalizing PDPM.  

Many organizations have not yet registered their teams for the July workshop to prepare for Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) implementation that goes into effect Oct. 1, 2019. A Team Approach to Operationalizing PDPM is a full day workshop that takes place at four different locations in July. It is designed to equip interdisciplinary teams with the knowledge and tools to prepare for the sweeping changes in Medicare Part A payment classification system.  

The wait is over! The Connect Conference is open for registration. The first annual event, Aug. 20-21 in Brooklyn Center, brings together providers from across the home- and community-based continuum for two days of integrated and interactive learning and forming partnerships to better serve our communities and customers.  

If your housing wait list has become unruly, ineffective or maybe it’s nonexistent, we have just the webinar for you. Attend Future Resident Program: Effective Housing Waiting List Management, a one-hour webinar on July 10.  

Have you heard – the all-new Connect Conference in Brooklyn Center on Aug. 20 and 21 is the summer event that brings together senior housing, assisted living, home care and adult day providers – and registration is opening later this week. 

Want to know the three most common mistakes communities make in building and maintaining wait lists and how to easily correct them?

Make your plans now to attend the first annual Connect Conference on Aug. 20 and 21 in Brooklyn Center -- designed specifically for senior housing, assisted living, home care and adult day providers to come together to form new connections and work together to build services for those we serve, breaking down silos that separate our work.  

A Team Approach to Operationalizing PDPM is a full day workshop coming this July to four cities to help your interdisciplinary team get prepared for the Oct. 1, 2019 implementation of Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM).  

The all-new Connect Conference in August combines three previous popular conferences – Senior Living NOW, Assisted Living & Home Care, and Adult Day - into an interactive experience intentionally designed to bring providers across the home- and community-based continuum together to address issues in common and to shape the future of service to older adults. 

Register your interdisciplinary team today for one of four July workshops, A Team Approach to Operationalizing PDPM, to prepare for the Oct.1 implementation of the Patient Drive Payment Model (PDPM) classification system for Medicare Part A payments. The new system has significant implications for clinical operations, pre-admission screening, IDT documentation, and may even influence the types of individuals you will admit. 

Learn how to develop a system to create more effective waiting lists for your housing community and keep prospects engaged and committed – and move past the dreaded “I’m not ready yet” objection. m 

This is the biggest conference for home- and community-based providers to hit the state ever. Don’t miss the Connect Conference, Aug. 20 and 21, which brings together providers from the full spectrum of senior housing, assisted living, home care and adult day to discuss the important issues and opportunities that impact us all. 

With less than one week to go in the 2019 Legislative Session, there are bills advancing that will result in landmark changes to your operations, staffing and ability to ensure safe, quality affordable care to our fast-growing aging population. Register today for a June District Meeting, where our advocacy team will lead a deep dive discussion on these changes and plan the next steps we will take together as a provider community.   

The May 15 PDPM workshop is nearly sold out; just a few seats remain. Successful Leadership Strategies to Prepare for PDPM is designed for your executive leadership team with important information as you prepare your organizations for the transition to PDPM.
