​Because CMS has provided limited to no guidance to SNF care delivery partners impacted by the PDPM implementation on October 1, AHCA members have asked if we could create a webinar about PDPM that providers could share with referring hospitals, physicians, Medicare Advantage plans, Accountable Care Organizations, and Bundled Payment program partners. To help facilitate AHCA member discussions with care delivery partners about PDPM, we have prepared a one page document that includes links to the following five pre-recorded webinars and slides that are intended to be viewed by SNF care delivery partner to get a better understanding about what PDPM is, and how PDPM may impact their relationships with SNF providers.

Too many vulnerable adults fall prey to con artists, family members, fiduciaries, and professional advisers who steal their nest eggs and threaten their financial security. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has released a manual to equip assisted living and nursing center staff with the know-how to prevent and spot the warning signs of financial exploitation. In this webinar, CFPB will take you through the manual and its key points.

This session provides professional caregivers a framework for developing an assessment process that results in a deeper understanding of what motivates someone to do what they do. With greater understanding comes a more focused, personalized plan to accommodate the complicated needs of every individual.

Phase 3 of the RoPs goes into effect on November 28, 2019. AHCA has developed resources to help you navigate the new requirements. This package includes resources applicable to Behavioral Health and Trauma Informed Care.

Efficiency and cost-effective positive nutritional outcomes are critical for success in today’s healthcare environment. CMS will be replacing the current SNF PPS Resource Utilization Group (RUGs) payment model with a new per-diem payment system called the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) beginning on October 1, 2019. It is critical for success that providers understand where key nutrition related diagnoses are included in the PDPM. This session will discuss collaboration with appropriate healthcare professionals to incorporate systems, processes and documentation for successful financial reimbursement of nutrition related services.
