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.

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.
