Overview:

As nursing homes experience unprecedented staff turnover, the need became apparent to get “back to the essentials” and provide education related to essentials for the Minimum Data Set (MDS), Skilled Care, and PDPM.  Medicare audits occur frequently throughout the health care continuum and assurance that your documentation supports the care you provide to a resident is crucial to assuring your Medicare reimbursement is not affected.  Decreasing occupancy and the increasing need for financial stability means that LTC organizations need to assure they accurately capture every dollar of Medicare reimbursement.   This three-part webinar series will provide members the knowledge of what skillable services are available, what documentation the interdisciplinary team needs to support this service, the documentation required to support your MDS coding, and how to audit Medicare charts.  Joining us for this webinar series might be the best investment you’ll make in assuring that your Medicare documentation is clean and your claim won’t be denied!

Who Should Attend

RAI/MDS Coordinators, Directors of Nursing, Nurse Managers/Staff and Leaders, QA, Staff Development, Rehabilitation Services, Nursing Home Administrators, and others on your team who impact MDS/PDPM processes.  Appropriate for SNF programs.
