Dear Friends,

For our 2014 Annual Conference and Trade Show, LeadingAge Michigan and the Hospice and Palliative Care

Association of Michigan have collaborated to bring you this dynamic event. We are very pleased to design our

annual conference using the strength of two powerful Michigan health care organizations and all our Members.

During our Annual Conference, we are especially pleased to be able to introduce part one of a four part

series on Implementing Integrated Care through Managed Care Contracting. Join our members as Janet

Olszewski (Health Management Associates and former Director MDCH) addresses critical issues facing

providers as integrated care systems develop.

Most importantly, we know that we could not create powerful and positive experiences for our Members

without the strong support of our Business Associates. We appreciate their ongoing help as we provide new

opportunities for our Members to reflect, plan, network and re-energize for the challenges ahead.

Please join us in our Capital City with some of the most influential mission-based providers in Michigan. As

always, we will create an experience that will acknowledge and recognize the good work of our Members

while generating new ideas and concepts.

LEADERSHIP SERIES 2.0 - MONDAY

Janet OlszewskiPrincipal at Health Management Associates

Integrated Care through Managed Care Contracting. Janet will kick off our annual conference Monday morning and continue with a daylong Leadership Track discussing the new healthcare landscape in Michigan.

As the former Director of Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH), Janet is well positioned to assist LeadingAge Michigan in developing a dynamic curriculum and faculty to assist members in the new integrated world. This daylong track is the first part of a four part Leadership Series scheduled to occur throughout 2014 and 2015. The second event is already being planned for the month of August 2014 in Traverse City.

You will not want to miss our opening event as Janet reviews the major challenges of health care reform for the aging and end of life provider. Following the keynote, Monday’s Managed Care Leadership Track will focus on integrated care models, Michigan’s upcoming Integrated Care System, contracting strategies and the immense importance of demonstrating value to partners. Fully understanding the intricacies of Managed Care is a necessity for all health care providers as Michigan implements its Program to Integrate Care for Persons Eligible for Medicare and Medicaid this year.

LeadingAge Michigan and the Hospice & Palliative Care Association of Michigan Business Partners invite you to snap your fingers and tap your feet to the beat of the sounds of Motown’s greatest hits! Come and enjoy the 2014 Motown Spectacular Trade Show, while experiencing the greatest of yesterday, today, & tomorrow’s advancements in senior and hospice services & technologies. Take a trip with us back to the 1960s and 1970s as we celebrate the MOTOWN sound and our dedicated business partners showcase the latest in innovative products and technologies.

The 2014 Annual Trade Show will be filled with excitement and activity. Network with the best service providers in Michigan and enhance your mission to Michigan senior and hospice care. Over 100 Business Partners will exhibit the industry’s newest technologies, products, and services. We are pleased to offer Michigan-made refreshments and entertainment as we celebrate all the best Michigan has to offer. And last but not least, there are great opportunities to win fabulous prizes. Get ready for a Motown Show you will not forget!


Lansing presents the perfect location for the 2014 Annual Conference & Trade Show! Much like our members, Lansing is most known for its strength in leadership, resourceful collaboration through partnerships, and paving the road for innovation.

Lansing offers a unique opportunity to see the evolution of the Oldsmobile by visiting a wide array of car-related sites such as plant tours and automobile museums. But Lansing is also Michigan’s political center. Don’t miss the Tuesday Capital Day Tour of the beautiful State Capitol Building completely restored in 1992 where visitors are wowed by the glass-floor rotunda and decorative hand painted surfaces. Besides a great view of the State Capitol’s architectural beauty, members will address state advocacy efforts and finish the day listening to the wonderful Henry Ford Village choir.

Families and children love the Potter Park Zoo, Impression 5 Museum, and the Michigan Historical Museum that boast past and present of Michigan’s capital city. Sports fans enjoy watching the all American baseball game downtown at the Cooley Law School Stadium, while others walk the enchanted streets of East Lansing’s pride and joy, Michigan State University. Looking for entertainment and shopping? Stop right here. There is something for everyone in the Lansing area!

Keynote Speakers

MONDAYJanet Olszewski — Principal at Health Management AssociatesLooking at Health Care in Michigan

Understanding the intricacies of managed care is a current necessity for aging service providers. Join Janet Olszewski, former Director-Michigan Department of Community Health- in a discussion on current health care trends along with funding and payment issues. This keynote presentation starts off our Monday Leadership track that is focused on managed care and the changing health care environment. Janet has collaborated and coordinated this day long series (the first in a four part discussion) with key experts from the team at Health Management Associates.

TUESDAYJoe Flower — Healthcare FuturistNotes from the Future: Where We are Headed

Twenty-five years ago, Joe Flower and Dr. Ken Dychtwald’s best-selling book, Age Wave, helped launch a whole new way of looking at powerful aging in America. Today, as a health care futurist, Flower sees many of the predictions made back then coming true as the Boomers approach elder status. “Technology, economics, and demographics are coming together to create possibilities for seeing aging and care for our old citizens in a completely new way, giving older Americans not only better health at far lower cost, but more freedom, more community — not just more days on our lives, but more life in our days. There has never been a moment as powerful as this for transforming elder life in America.”

WEDNESDAYBob Danzig — Business Leader, Speaker, & AuthorDeveloping the Leader Within You

In this highly inspirational presentation, acclaimed speaker and author Bob Danzig will be sharing his wisdom on the common powers in “cream of the crop” leaders. Bob will take each audience member on a journey of discovery on nurturing and mastering those powers needed to be a consistently effective leader. With Bob’s own pathway from foster child to office boy to CEO of a multibillion dollar revenue corporation, this Speaker Hall of Fame presenter will weave memorable stories that will touch the minds and hearts of all. Attendees will leave with a renewed sense of their talents, reminded that their work is noble and of great purpose. As a special bonus, each audience member will receive a copy of Bob’s book, “The Leader Within You” as a gift.

Session Descriptions

MONDAY SESSIONS

SESSION 1B/1C Implementing Integrated Care through Managed Care ContractingManaged care contracting has been widely used by the Medicare and Medicaid programs for many years. However, its application to long term care services and supports has been more recent. This session will provide a comprehensive view of the alphabet soup of government managed care contracting efforts (Medicare Advantage, Special needs Plans, Managed Long Term Care Plans, Integrated Care Demonstrations) along with the expectations and requirements relevant to long term care providers. Presenters will provide examples of state based contracting strategies.

SESSION 2D

Breaking BoundariesPartnerships, collaboration, and innovation are key aspects of our nation’s healthcare future. Hospice and palliative care providers have an opportunity to be innovators and leaders as accountable care and healthcare reform evolve.

Learn and share with colleagues the opportunities and challenges of developing partnerships with health systems to expand programs such as hospice, palliative care, advance healthcare planning, and bereavement.

Linda Beushausen, Hospice at Home


SESSION 2E

The Future of Hospice & Palliative Care: Trends, Truths, and TrajectoriesThis session will review several national benchmarks for hospice, and then drill down with state and local comparisons.

Using the same information CMS, OIG, and Program Integrity use, regulatory applications and issues surrounding Medicare waste, fraud, and abuse will be addressed. This session is designed for local, state, and national hospice leadership interested in the continuum of hospice services from the bedside to national policy.

Cordt Kassner PhD, Hospice Analytics


SESSION 2F

Strategic Planning for the Sustainability of a Single Site CCRC CampusSingle site CCRC operators are facing challenges of reduced reimbursements, managed care, market demands, and increased competition. Data indicates that the average age of a single site CCRC facility is older than multi-site CCRC campuses and for-profit competitors, leaving providers faced with decisions on how to reposition obsolete programs and buildings to better serve seniors in the community. Lourdes

Senior Community will share their vision, mission, planning process and project execution strategy to assist CCRC campuses thoughtfully evaluate where to place limited resources to sustain the viability for the campus for many years to come.

SESSION 3E/3F

Defining and Developing Specialty Services in an ACO EnvironmentIn 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued its final regulation for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) as part of its plan for value-based purchasing (VBP). The advent of ACOs will require post-acute care providers to build an infrastructure of specialization that will allow for collaborative care using high-quality evidence-based clinical pathways across the care continuum. Participants will learn how development of specialty services maximizes financial and clinical outcomes in managing chronic conditions.

Lynn Freeman, Aegis Therapies


SESSION 4B

Is Your Facility Prepared for a Community Disaster?Long term care partners have identified gaps between knowledge and the resources available for emergency healthcare response in Michigan. In this presentation the speakers will discuss the importance in planning for a disaster, as well as community plans and resources available to your facility.

Kim Saylor, Concept Rehab


SESSION 4D

Introduction to the New Hospice Cost Report Form CMS 1984-14The CMS draft hospice cost report 1984-14 will require significant changes not only in reporting, but in the gathering of cost and statistical information.

CEU Credits: N, NHA, SW

SESSION 4E/4F

Managing Troublesome Human Resource Issues in a Changing Work EnvironmentAs long term and home health care industries evolve, so too do the legal issues we face as employers. Employers struggle with classifying employees to ensure that they are properly compensated; paying employees for “hours worked” in a workplace that has expanded into our clients’ homes; and managing employees’ attendance in the face of their own illnesses or disabilities. Participants in this session will emerge prepared to handle these challenges.

Robert Pivonka, Rolf Law

Al Kaul, Wellspring Lutheran Services




SESSION 5B/5C

Melissa Latter, Chelsea Retirement Community

Todd Hanselman, Chelsea Retirement Community

Jessica Weber, Chelsea Retirement Community


SESSION 5D

QAPI from an Operational ApproachAs post-acute providers continue to link quality outcomes (data metrics) with reimbursement, the use of analytics to improve quality, increase efficiencies and overall improve business outcomes for sustainability becomes critical. Preparing for this paradigm shift can be accomplished utilizing QAPI principles. QAPI represents a step in moving toward quality outcomes, analysis, data and performance! This session will review the post-acute care data agenda, QAPI principles and leadership strategies for positive outcomes.

Christine Osterberg, Pathway Health


SESSION 5E

Learn why this transformation may be one project that should be a priority.

Christina Matzke, Sunset Retirement Communities

Joel Elsenbroek, Sunset Retirement Communities


SESSION 5F

Getting the Most from Your SNF Pepper ReportThis session is designed to help SNFs determine the best approach to utilizing the PEPPER Report and its statistics to the advantage of their facility. Participants in this session will review RUG categories that the PEPPER reports as measures and discuss techniques for improving documentation and performing self-audits.

Betsy Anderson, FR&R Healthcare Consulting

Marilyn Mines, FR&R Healthcare Consulting


SESSION 6B/6C

ICD-10-CM: What Does Your Coder Really Need To Know?Gone are the days of using a short list of ICD codes for a common set of diagnoses. Not only are the alpha and numerical assignments different but chapters have been added, diseases have been reassigned to different chapters, conditions are classified differently, placeholder characters are used and laterality is incorporated into the codes. This session will describe the organization and structural changes in ICD-10-CM and will provide Skilled Nursing, Home Health and Hospice cases for case managers and billing staff.

Bonny Kohr, FR&R Healthcare Consulting

Marilyn Mines, FR&R Healthcare Consulting




SESSION 6D

Lightening the Load: Reducing Pharmaceutical Burden with Appropriate Discontinuation StrategiesThis presentation focuses on reducing the pharmaceutical burden of polypharmacy and in turn the potential for adverse drug reactions. A review of medications related to specific disease states and symptoms will be identified and discussed, along with confounding factors that play into potential roadblocks related to medication discontinuation. Suggested recommendations in working with prescribers, families, and patients in managing medications will be included.

Heather Houseknecht, Hospice Pharmacia


SESSION 6E
