The Impact of the MDS - MDS Influence on Spades and SNF QRP
|
The MDS has a ripple effect on facility reimbursement, quality measures and care quality. This 5-session series targets what facility leaders need to know about the MDS to oversee and drive reimbursement, quality measures/QRP, 5-Star success and care quality.
MDS Influence on Spades and SNF QRP (Feb 21) - The MDS updates effective October 1, 2023 marked the most significant change to the MDS 3.0 since its inception in 2010. Many of the data element changes on the MDS assessment relate to the Standardized Patient Assessment Data Elements (SPADES). The accurate completion of these new SPADES items is critical to the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP). In addition, several changes to SNF QRP were finalized in the FY2024 SNF PPS Final Ruel. During this session we will also provide an overview of these changes and detail the impact of key MDS data elements on the SNF QRP program.
Proactive's MDS experts will provide clarity on crucial performance areas impacted by the RAI process, avoiding common errors and driving outcomes through MDS accuracy in your facility.

This training series is clear, practical, and engaging. Sessions will include many practical exercises and demonstrations for the purpose of skill-building.

However, most organizations have an undisciplined and unfocused approach to hiring people. In this session you will learn to how conduct a thorough interview, select a solid candidate, and get them started strong during orientation.
The main drive for employee retention is having a great boss. In fact, according to Gallup Management Research, 70% of an employee's engagement is determined by the employee's relationship with their direct supervisor. Most managers have been promoted from staff positions but have never received management training. When you train managers, everyone wins! Your employees win, your customers win, and your organization wins. Great managers produce higher employee engagement, productivity, retention, improved teamwork, and higher customer satisfaction.

Essentials of the LTC Director of Nursing Role
|
LeadingAge Kentucky is pleased to announce a virtual series that will take place in three segments over the first half of 2023 that will aid in developing the Director if Nursing (DON) role in nursing homes. Elements of this series will focus on budgeting and quality assurance; survey processes and regulations; and human resources, customer services, and leadership.
Each segment of this series is designed to provide in-depth information and discussion on each topic without taking the series in a sequential order or taking all 3 sections of the series. By making each of the 3 segments standalone, you can better address succession planning by having individuals attend as their nurse leadership skills are identified. Additional sections in this series will be added to the events calendar for March and June. Please contact Rhonda Hoyer if you have any questions.

Session Spotlight: Lessons to Embrace from the COVID Pandemic
|
Systemic imperfections have been revealed across the post-acute care continuum during the COVID Pandemic. Some of them underscored the magnitude and urgency of issues that were already suspected of causing health or safety risks for both residents and caregivers. This interactive session will describe selected opportunities identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services for implementing policies that foster inter-agency and/or regulator-provider collaboration - to the ultimate benefit of long-term care community residents, staff or the families of either. Which interventions and approaches launched in the tense climate of a public health emergency had the most positive impact? Which of them deserve consideration as the most promising for us to keep through changes in statute, regulation or practice standards? Click here for more information.
