But they also see a dark side to AI – for instance, in how Medicare Advantage plans have leveraged it to make controversial decisions about post-acute coverage. Leaders in the space will discuss how they are trying to harness AI for good and how they are dealing with AI’s complications.

As the U.S. population of older adults swells, nursing homes are at an inflection point. Demand is surging, but the patient population and the payment landscape are different than in the past, while technology and clinical breakthroughs continue to rapidly reshape care delivery – and all this is taking place amid intense workforce pressures. Hear from clinical leaders about how they are innovating to meet the moment and what they foresee for the future.

The rise of value-based care continues, with CMS introducing new models such as TEAM and GUIDE, all against a backdrop of Medicare Advantage pressures. Learn how nursing home clinical leaders are engaging with new programs and navigating existing value-based care efforts, and how an increasingly complex reimbursement environment relates to the evolution of clinical offerings.

Nursing home providers are in the thick of absorbing changes from CMS. Many are still reeling from the impact of the removal of MDS’ Section G, while off-cycle revalidation paperwork is forcing greater transparency in SNF ownership structures, and new facility assessments are underway as part of the federal staffing mandate. Hear how these regulations and others are affecting SNF performance on quality measures, staffing calculations, and even 5-Star ratings, and the related benefits and pain points for delivery of care.
