GENERAL SESSIONS
Day One Overview
Faced with emerging health care issues and demographic changes, home care administrators must be poised to re-evaluate their strategic position. In doing so, home care administrators must lead quality driven organizations using innovative approaches and understanding opportunities for growth and development. This module will provide administrators with insights into trends in health care, building strong leadership, effective ways to manage and use data, and performance management strategies to achieve growth as the market shifts. This information will assist administrators in understanding market changes and how to implement strategies to position your organization for success in the years ahead.
Day Two Overview
Now, more then ever, administrators must be able to integrate financial and clinical operations. Administrators must be grounded in the basics of financial management, accountable for financial performance and skilled in risk management of financial operations. At the same time, clinical operations managers must understand the impact of clinical decisions on the organization’s financial performance and begin now to prepare for changes in reimbursement. This module will provide a framework for understanding, interpreting and integrating financial and clinical performance of the organization. The presenters will focus on the essentials of financial management and approaches to improve agency performance, particular relationships between financial and clinical operations. Administrators will be on the cutting edge of financial and clinical utilization management strategies in light of pending reimbursement changes.
Day Three Overview
Having the best strategic position and well-managed financial operation can be accomplished in today’s health care environment only if legal and compliance management are well integrated into organizational performance. And, performance goals can only be met with good execution strategies. They key elements of legal and corporate compliance will assist administrators to further align strategic, financial and performance improvement issues. Administrators will gain knowledge to help integrate corporate compliance management with the clinical, financial and legal integrity of the organization.
