NASL/AHCA Rehabilitation Therapy Symposium Rehab – Where Has the Time Gone? A discussion about how SNF operators and therapy providers can redesign clinical programs that emphasize the quality instead of quantity of therapy services. Rapidly shrinking fee-for-service payment models and an increasing emphasis on achieving quality outcomes with all payers means that SNFs should re-think how therapy professionals can contribute to overall SNF operations and quality achievement. Back for a fifth year, NASL and AHCA bring you this important half-day session featuring the most current information on evaluating benchmarking data and change care processes to improve outcomes for residents with the most complex and costly conditions. This targeted event will include SNF operators and therapy professionals sharing their experience in leveraging therapy staff to achieve successful interdisciplinary outcomes for short- and long-stay residents on high-impact quality metrics. This is a separate, ticketed event. Add-on fee with your NASL Annual Meeting registration is $125. Registration for this event only is $299. Approval for 4.50 CEUs has been requested.
