PDGM reforms outline home health care programs that must be managed in an ongoing manner\, like acute care episodes. By employing a utilization review-based care production and delivery model\, agencies can bring clinical control in-house to manage for PDGM success. Regarding clinical episode management under PDGM\, the balance of control between supervisors and clinical delivery staff shifts significantly towards clinical managers. \n  \nBy adopting a utilization review-based operational model\, progressive providers can address all elements of PDGM and subsequent reforms including PCR\, VBPM expansion\, and Post-Acute PPS (bundling all acute care discharge diagnoses). In addition\, utilization review allows for efficient Intake\, plan of care development\, scheduling\, (and productivity)\, CMS-qualified audit-proof programming\, and 4+/5 Star Ratings. Case studies will demonstrate how agencies who currently employ a utilization review-based care management model will post increased margins under PDGM. Don’t miss this exciting presentation for your introduction to the care path to PDGM success! \n  \nParticipants will gain insight into how to manage PDGM to success by participating in this program. \n  \nPresenter: Arnie Cisneros\, PT \nPresident\, Home Health Strategic Management  \nAs President of Home Health Strategic Management\, Arnie has provided clinical services\, program development\, and management consultation in the areas of post-acute care\, sports medicine\, and episodic programming for more than 30 years. \n  \nHe is renowned for his adaptation of traditional care philosophies to address current and future healthcare reform initiatives. Having delivered care across an evolving care continuum during the PPS era\, he is able to position HHSM as the leading post-acute consulting firm in terms of rewiring care for quality clinical outcomes. As a result\, HHSM has been selected as post-acute consultants for multiple Pioneer ACOs\, including the awarding and development of a CMS Innovation Center Bundling Pilot Demonstration Project in conjunction with the Detroit Medical Center. The subsequent bundling program served as the basis of the first mandatory CMS Alternative Payment Model (APM)\, Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacements (CJR). HHSM subsequently became post-acute clinical consultants for the DMC MI Pioneer ACO\, managing all DMC discharges for sub-acute and home health services. \n  \nHHSM is a leader in the establishment of a utilization review (UR) model for home health care development and delivery. The HHSM UR Model\, SURCH – Service Utilization Review for Care in the Home\, was named the 2016 VNAA Innovative Home Health Care Model for its ability to successfully address and program care in terms of the quality requirements. The SURCH model routinely increases care-mix and HHRG levels >25%\, decreases nursing staffing costs while improving productivity\, manages care on an in-episode basis\, and delivers 4.5 – 5 Star Ratings; all in an audit-proof manner. \n  \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/creating-a-successful-operational-model-for-pdgm-success/ CATEGORIES:Event,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190926T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190926T110000 DTSTAMP:20260518T095949 CREATED:20190709T155345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220907T162210Z UID:10000107-1569486600-1569495600@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:Executive Certificate Senior Care Management DESCRIPTION:Executive Certificate \nSenior Care Management \nSeptember 26 – December 12\, 2019 | 5-8 p.m. \nRutgers University | Levin 102\, Piscataway NJ Campus \n  \nProgram Overview \n  \nDid you know that in the next two decades\, there will be more than 70 million people over the age of 65?  Plus\, life expectancy in the US has increased 15 years since the 1930’s.  What do all these numbers mean?  The need for senior care services is on the rise in a big way.  That’s why today’s senior care leaders need a keen understanding of strategy and finance in addition to keeping current in their knowledge and expertise in senior care services.  The Senior Care Management Executive Certificate is designed to address this need. \nParticipating in this program will give you the strategic and organizational skills you need to navigate today’s rapidly changing senior health care environment as well as increase your understanding of the current and anticipated pressures of senior health care management. \n  \nProgram Benefits \n\nAcquire new vision for senior care management focused around patient outcomes and experiences.\nUnderstand the economic\, management and operational complexities of senior care\, senior care providers and practitioners.\nLearn about the senior care marketplace\, business strategies in non-profit institutions and the use of information technology in senior care.\nAdapt to the challenges of senior care delivery\, strategic management issues and operations.\nApply analytical tools to determine tradeoffs across economic options.\nGain insight into managing people\, processes and organizations for strategic transformation in senior care.\nBest practices of senior care providers nationwide.\nParticipating in this program will give you the strategic and organizational skills you need to navigate today’s rapidly changing senior health care environment as well as increase your understanding of the current and anticipated pressures of senior health care management.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND \nThis Executive Certificate is designed for professionals involved in or interested in senior care and individuals seeking to move into an executive level position.
