Skilled Nursing’s ‘Mission Critical’ Moment Who’s got your back? CMS is promoting an unfunded mandate.

The Biden Administration is “cracking down” on nursing homes. And managed care has spent the last decade driving down SNF utilization.

The reality is, in today’s post-pandemic healthcare economy, SNFs have to step up and fend for themselves.

It’s this sentiment of self-determination that is the inspiration for this year’s LTC 100 theme, “Mission Critical: Seizing Control of Census, Margin and Image.”

We see opportunity on the horizon for SNFs (including rising acuity and favorable demographics). But we’re not oblivious to the formidable headwinds. So we believe the best, most successful skilled nursing operators over the next five years will be those who are prepared to deploy very bold, calculated strategies – which brings me to this year’s LTC 100 program.

We have very intentionally curated a lineup designed to inspire purposeful, out-ofthe-box thinking. Whether your number one priority is workforce, reimbursement, advocacy or innovation, at LTC 100 you’ll be among the brightest, most enterprising individuals and organizations assembled around a common cause: to help position SNFs for future success.

So I encourage you to join us in Salt Lake City for three days of invaluable, out-ofthe-office networking and inspiration!

Warm regards,

Tim Craig Managing Director, LTC 100

“

I went back to work with a hundred great ideas, swirling in my head.”

Bubba McIntosh NHC

Inflection Point: Five Priorities to Right the Skilled Nursing Ship Opportunity is staring SNFs in the face. Hospitals desperately need reliable discharge channels. Payers want members out of high-cost inpatient beds. And home health providers are ill-equipped to reliably coordinate high acuity care. We’re taking a hard look at what it will take to seize this opportunity (despite the ongoing labor headwinds) in an effort to build back census and generate margin.

• Reimagining the rehab-to-long stay ratio

• Tightening up alignment with hospitals

• Focusing on facility-level leadership

• Advocating tirelessly for SNFs

• Right-sizing the organization

It’s Time to Overhaul the SNF Survey Process Top policymakers answer critical questions about the current state of nursing home surveys. Why so punitive? Is the current process leading to better outcomes? What would it take to overhaul the entire survey system, and where do we start?

WORKFORCE Doubling Down on Facility-Level Leadership

WORKFORCE

We’re witnessing the dawn of a new era of decentralized top management – and we believe the most successful organizations in skilled nursing will be those with exceptional workforce development initiatives focused on DONs, Administrators, Medical Directors, RNs and LPNs.

What Makes Nurses Tick? A Deep Dive into the Motivators of RNs and LPNs Part I: MIT Research. We will share findings from a comprehensive survey of 130,000 nurses that uncovers their sources of satisfaction and frustration.

Part II: Live Focus Group. RNs and LPNs will share unvarnished views of the likes and dislikes about the nursing home profession.

New Frontiers: Bold Ideas to Grow the SNF Business We’ve identified eight new growth opportunities for enterprising SNFs. Presenters will emphasize the economics of their respective models, including staffing considerations, reimbursement, and the contribution to the organization’s bottom line.

• Own a Physician Group

• Open Behavioral Health Units

• Shift to a High-Risk iSNP

• Create Medicaid-Only SNFs

• Stand Up a PACE Program

• Compete with AL on Private Pay

• Build Out Palliative Care

• Start a SNF Provider Network

Super SNF: Going All-In on High Acuity Rehab The future trajectory for SNFs is higher acuity. So we’re putting the short-stay business under the microscope – with input from providers on the forefront of the “Super SNF” model – by examining two critical questions. What is the model for shifting to 30% to 50% short-stay rehab? And what are the economic advantages of pursuing the upper limits of acuity?

IMAGE CRISIS The Urgent Task of Fixing the Perception of Nursing Homes Vital stakeholders representing hospitals, legislators and consumers will share candid views of how SNFs are viewed by their respective constituents – with the goal of exploring constructive ways to change the narrative around the image of SNFs, including effective advocacy on federal, state and local levels.

AI & TECHNOLOGY AI & Healthcare: A Brave New World What we think we know of AI’s potential today will be exponentially increased in only a few short years. To wrap our collective brains around how AI will impact healthcare overall – and senior care in particular – a pre-eminent AI expert will share a future vision of its transformative potential.

Technology Showcase: Operationalizing AI in Skilled Nursing Six creative case studies of inventive ways AI is being used to automate repetitive tasks and simplify processes across SNF organizations. Each example will underscore how AI is freeing up staff (to work at a higher level) and, in turn, amplifying job satisfaction.

Election 2024: Debating the Fate of Skilled Nursing LTC 100 marks the six-month milestone to the 2024 election – the perfect opportunity to predict how changes to federal healthcare oversight could impact staffing requirements, the survey process, immigration reform, Medicaid expansion, and much more.

Innovators, Pioneers & Disruptors Innovation is surging in the post acute care sector, despite the enormous pressure on the SNF business over the last few years – or maybe because of it! We’re showcasing 10 inventive companies, concepts and technologies transforming key aspects of long term care, in particular workforce, operations, and clinical care.
