Opening Remarks
9:00 - 9:15 AM
With clinical complexity on the rise, compliance as imperative as ever, more specialty programs being offered, technology playing an ever-larger role, and new payment models and reimbursement pressures at play, top clinical executives share their outlook and strategies to create the next generation of skilled nursing care.
The continued rise of Medicare Advantage has skilled nursing operators reeling from concerns over impacts to clinical care, low payment rates, severe administrative burdens, and other challenges. Gain insight into strategies for coping with these pressures and ideas for how to adapt for the future, with MA only poised to expand further.
With skilled nursing facilities providing more complex and costly care than ever before, while adapting to new payment frameworks and an ongoing staffing shortage, the sector is at an inflection point. Hear from three of the top authorities on how clinical care is evolving in this era of major challenges and exciting transformation.
From CMS’ proposed staffing mandate to changes in the quality reporting program and value-based purchasing, to survey stresses and MDS changes, learn what compliance and policy matters are making the biggest impact on clinical operations, and how providers are coping with the burdens, uncertainties, and complexities of a highly regulated sector.
