2024 LTC Cocktail Book

Cocktail Book A Cocktail Party’s Worth of Personal Introductions to Conference Attendees

May 5-8, 2024 | Salt Lake City

Welcome

T

o introduce you to LTC 100 attendees and their companies, we give you the “Cocktail Book,” filled with

company and executive profiles.

You’ll find two key questions: What do you want to learn from LTC 100 attendees? And what do you want to share with them?

There are also two lighter personal questions.

We hope you find this book to be both a useful and enjoyable way to get to know your peers and more easily discover those fellow attendees who you would like to share interesting business ideas with.

We wish you a conference where you gain both inspiration (in your leadership, strategy and innovation) and connections (meet some people who can offer you valuable ideas or advice).

Tim Craig

Managing Director LTC 100

Anti-Trust Guidelines LTC 100 is not a trade group or association; rather a community of leading skilled nursing executives invited to gather annually to learn about and share best practices in the management of large companies. Recognizing that a meeting attended by large competitors in the same industry can raise the appearance of wrong doing, the following rules shall apply to this meeting: 1. No discussions of prices, price levels, production levels, distribution or production costs shall occur.

2. No discussion shall be had, which has the effect of, or which may be construed as having the effect of: a. E xcluding any company (competitor or supplier) from a particular product or geographic market; b. F ixing, or attempting to fix, the price, product offering, terms of sale, or territories of operation of any party; c. P reventing any party from gaining access to specific markets, customers or suppliers.

Speaker

Commission for Nurse Reimbursement commissionfornursereimbursement.com The Commission for Nurse Reimbursement addresses the lack of direct reimbursement for nurses in acute and post-acute care settings. Nurses are the only degreed healthcare professional that is not a billable service in healthcare and has resulted in nurses being a cost to healthcare systems. This failed model has led to the nursing crisis in the United States, and a new business model must be created for the sustainability of the nursing profession. The primary goal of the non-profit organization is to explore and propose changes to existing billing and reimbursement models, that would ensure optimal levels of nursing care to ensure patient safety and outcomes, and to unburden our hospital and nursing homes from an economic model around nursing that fails to provide optimal nursing care. Founded in May 2023, with 12 Commissioners, the organization has quickly grown to encompass nurses in all 50 states, partnerships with leading healthcare organizations, and becoming the leading voice on reimbursement models for nursing in the United States.
