Preparing your staff for Survey; Best Practices for Nurse Leaders: The goal of every DON, Administrator and Facility is to be survey ready EVERY DAY, but how do you do that? How do you prepare your staff for what’s to come? In this session with Linda Farrar, we’ll review what you as a nurse leader can do to prepare your staff for your upcoming survey. Linda will also provide insight on top tags and trends that she is seeing statewide.

Staff Shortages: Dealing with the headache that is a daily REALITY: Nursing Facilities are facing a chronic workforce shortages. It’s a reality that we, as Nurse Leaders deal with every day. Let’s talk about this daily headache. In this session Linda Farrar will talk about and encourage sharing of possible solutions and discuss the benefit to our elders of striving for staff stability.

Falls: What you don’t know hurts!: Facility teams spend a great deal of time and focus on falls. The organized involvement of the front-line staff, care-plan team, and family is critical to sustaining success in identifying risk and implementing the right interventions to prevent falls. Join Cheryl Boldt to explore realistic teaming, communication, and monitoring systems for keeping those we serve safe from falls.

Safe Transition Planning for New Admissions - Experts Driving Outcomes: This session with Cheryl Boldt will provide information on how providers of Post-Acute Skilled services can use their Team of Experts to facilitate a smooth and safe transition to home or a lesser level of care for their customers. This cutting-edge practice will enhance your organization's reputation as the provider of choice in your market because you are doing the right thing for the right reason and achieving the right outcome for all stakeholders.

SNF Breakout Sessions (The Hartford Room) AL Breakout Sessions (The Excel Room)

Pressure Ulcer Prevention: The Brayden and Beyond - Providing functional pressure ulcer prevention and treatment requires extensive education, knowledge, and skills on the part of the clinician. These two sessions with Dr. Pamela Scarborough will provide evidence based and best practices from multiple resources on prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers with an additional focus on the heel; the number one location for pressure ulcers in the long-term care setting.

The Role of the Nurse in Assisted Living - Do you have a current understanding of the delegation process in the assisted living and home plus environments? Do you understand your role? Join Patty Brown from KDADs for this session to best understand how to create practices that will benefit residents and potentially reduce the number of deficient practice citations by the survey process.

Pressure Ulcer Treatment: Wound Bed Preparation: The Foundation for Wound Closure and Healing - This session is a continuation of the earlier session on Wound Care. Dr. Scarborough will take a deeper look at treatment.

June 14, 2016 - SNF ONLY Topics (The Hartford Room)

Leading the Journey: If you are employed in a role which provides “service to others” you are automatically in a leadership position. Join Cheryl Boldt as we plan our journey together. We need to include an awareness of how we are all role models in our work place and community. Regardless of your “position” you have influence over many people, decisions, and systems. A “franchise” approach to how we interact and treat others will elevate respect and trust from our customers, potential customers, co-workers, and even our family and friends. You can become a role model and master at “Leading the Journey” each day and teach others to do the same. Professionals who work in Skilled Facilities and Assisted Living in all roles are capable of embracing change and leaving work with a sense of accomplishment! Leadership should be a part of our hiring, orientation, and ongoing performance evaluations for all roles. And yes, your organization can make “Empowerment”, “Involvement” and “Accountability” a daily habit as you develop the leadership potential that surrounds you!
