Healthcare Reform: Short Term, Long Term, and the Implications for Post-Acute Care
Washington insiders and experts will provide a current update on key reform, reimbursement and lobbying initiatives affecting long term care and senior care providers. Panelists will examine the strategic cost and quality reform initiatives beginning to roll out in healthcare services: post-acute bundling, prevention of hospital readmissions, and accountable care organizations. Both post-acute providers and suppliers are in for a significant reshaping of the healthcare landscape over the next decade, and those who understand and prepare for these changes stand the best chance of becoming leaders in their fields. |
