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:20190924T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190924T130000 DTSTAMP:20260516T111613 CREATED:20190912T133032Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190912T141322Z UID:10000147-1569326400-1569330000@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:Skills2Care – A program for caregivers of people with dementia DESCRIPTION:Skills2Care – A program for caregivers of people with dementia\n\n\n\nThis webinar will describe Skills2Care program\, a non-pharmacological evidence-based intervention for caregivers of people with dementia delivered by occupational Therapy practitioners.

It will require Medicaid certified nursing facilities (NFs) serving MLTSS participants to meet Quality Performance Standards as a means to raise the overall quality of care and provide a basis for future Value Based Purchasing of NF services. Under the program\, New Jersey will transition from its current any willing provider (AWP) policy\, which requires a managed care organization (MCO) to contract with any NF who would like a contract and complies with the MCO’s provider network participation\nrequirements\, to the AWQP program. The AWQP program establishes the ground work for a NF and an MCO to negotiate a payment rate based on quality and outcomes. This program was\ndeveloped in collaboration with the MLTSS Steering Committee’s Quality Workgroup. \nObjectives:\nThis webinar will focus on the following:\n• What is the AWQP initiative and why is it being done?\n• What are the seven Quality Performance Standards?\n• What does the AWQP designation mean for my nursing facility?\n• What is a Quality Performance Plan and why will a NF create one?\n• What is the appeal process for the AWQP designation and reasons for appeal?\n• What technical assistance opportunities will exist and what is the role of the MCOs?\n• What is the progressive accountability component and how does this process fit into the\nAWQP initiative?\nSpeakers:\nNew Jersey Department of Human Services\nLaura Otterbourg\, Director\nElizabeth Brennan\, Assistant Director\nLeah Rogers\nDivision of Aging Services & Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services\nTrenton\, N.J \nRegistration is required but there is no fee. \nClick here to register URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/implementation-mltss-willing-qualified-provider-awqp-4/ CATEGORIES:Event,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180207T020000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180207T170000 DTSTAMP:20260516T111613 CREATED:20180110T211826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180122T084451Z UID:10000041-1517968800-1518022800@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:Implementation of the MLTSS Any Willing Qualified Provider (AWQP) DESCRIPTION:Webinar on the Implementation of the MLTSS Any Willing Qualified Provider (AWQP) presented by Division of Aging Services. \nSee attached brochure with links for registration. \nRegistration is required but there is no fee. \nFebruary 7\, 2018 – 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.\nClick here to register \nMore Information (pdf) URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/implementation-mltss-willing-qualified-provider-awqp-3/ CATEGORIES:Front Page,Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
