Optimizing Resident Outcomes and PDPM Reimbursement Through Effective Nursing Care, Restorative Programming, and Pressure Injury Prevention

Description

Event Description:
Nursing care delivery, restorative programming, and pressure injury prevention play critical roles in both resident outcomes and reimbursement under the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). This comprehensive session will examine how accurate clinical assessment, documentation, and evidence-based nursing interventions support quality care, regulatory compliance, and appropriate reimbursement in long-term care settings.

Participants will explore the impact of nursing documentation and care practices related to respiratory services, restorative nursing programs, cognition, depressive symptoms, activities of daily living (ADLs), tube feeding, and pressure injuries on PDPM classification and payment. The session will also review the development and implementation of effective restorative care programs that promote functional independence, reduce complications, enhance quality of life, and support accurate MDS coding.

In addition, attendees will learn evidence-based strategies for pressure injury prevention, early identification, intervention, and treatment, including appropriate dressing selection and care practices that improve healing outcomes while minimizing avoidable costs. Through practical application and best practices, participants will gain tools to strengthen clinical outcomes, support compliance with RAI and MDS requirements, and optimize reimbursement while maintaining a resident-centered approach to care.
