Overview: This webinar provides an overview of the MACRA legislation and developing regulations and guidelines. We'll help you understand how medical practices will be paid in the future for services to Medicare patients. You'll be asked to choose between two paths. If you choose to participate with other providers in an Advanced Payment Model, the larger organization will be paid for services provided and determine how to share those payments as well as any cost savings among the participants. If you choose the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), your payment rate will vary based on how you perform on a variety of Medicare Quality Programs - PQRS, VBM, Meaningful Use and a 4th new component focused on Quality Improvement. You'll want to know as much as possible about the pros and cons of each option and how to make the right choice for your practice. Why should you Attend: Under the MACRA legislation, your providers will need to choose between participating in an Advanced Payment Model (APM) or participating in the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System. Making the wrong choice can result in significant reductions in your future Medicare payments. You'll want to understand the options and have a plan in place by January 1, 2017 - that's only 6 months away. Areas Covered in the Session: Learn the requirements of the new MACRA legislation and how it will impact your Medicare payments in 2019 and beyond Find out what you need to be doing now to ensure you don't lose Medicare revenue in future years Understand the options - APM vs MIPS - and how your Medicare payments can increase or decrease under each model Identify what aspects of the new payment methodology are written into the legislation, what has been released through proposed regulations and when final rules are expected. Who Will Benefit: Practice Administrators, CEOs, COOs Physicians and all providers who bill to Medicare Quality Officers Nurse leaders Finance Directors Speaker Pro

Hospital Management : The growth and development of hospitals has led to an altogether specialized discipline -hospital management. Hospital management is about coordinating the various functions of a hospital and ensuring optimal healthcare to patients and other stakeholders. Hospital Management has come a long way from being a supplementary duty that senior doctors handled with ease, to being a full-fledged specialization in itself. Hospital management is an altogether fully developed specialist profession whose managers are well qualified. Many institutions today offer courses on hospital management. The relationship of hospital management to the area of management rather than to the medical field can be understood from the fact that many hospital managers are from a purely management background, and have little knowledge of medical science. Many hospital management institutions offer an MBA. They also offer courses on specialized subunits of hospital management, such as hospital financial management, healthcare system management, hospital human resources management, etc. This is because hospitals have evolved over time. They are now ultra-specialist healthcare providers that use the latest technologies. A hospital could use anything from billing software to highly sophisticated technology used in its medical devices. A hospital management specialist needs to be not only aware of these uses; she also needs to be/have all these: A good administrator who handles staff; A deep knowledge of the information systems; A good grip on all the systems that need to be coordinated thoroughly if the hospital needs to function smoothly without any hassles; Dealing with facilities for patients. Hospital Management can thus be understood as being the facilitator between a healthcare setting and those who need these services. It is about ensuring that all the administrative elements of a healthcare setting function in unison to ensure provision of accountable healthcare.

Course "Key Factors to Write an Effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Work Instructions (WIs)" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: Writing SOPs or procedural documents can be challenging at times. However, writing SOPs is overall a straightforward process. However, enforcing what you already created and implemented in the pipeline is another story. The term SOP is very obvious. We have seen "clearly written description of how specific tasks are to be done." Another satisfactory definition would be "detailed written instructions that achieve the uniformity of the performance of a specific function." Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? If you are medical device or a pharmaceutical manufacturer, these definitions come as no surprise because when it comes to FDA regulations and guidance documents "establish" means to define, to document (in writing or electronically) and to implement. The goal and emphasis with FDA is simple. Proof of "Establish" is the foundation. Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? Are the procedures being followed and enforced by company personnel? SOPs are needed in regulated industries to give step-by-step instructions for performing a particular job or task. This session will provide a step-by-step overview and a snapshot of the procedure description, the process and format. The subject matter of a SOP may range from how to operate a piece of machinery to how to log into a particular software program. SOPs ensure consistency and reliability because they require training of all affected parties. This session will address recent enforcement actions for SOP related violations but no surprise. Most of our enforcement actions are documentation related, i.e., SOP or other procedural documents. We will review examples from

Course "Risk Analysis and Design of Experiments (DOE) in Process Validation and Development" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: This course is designed to help scientists and engineers plan and conduct experiments and analyze the data to develop predictive models used to optimize processes and products and solve complex problems. DOE is an extremely efficient method to understand which variables (and interactions) affect key outcomes and allows the development of mathematical models used to optimize process and product performance. The models also provide an understanding of the impact of variability in controllable and uncontrollable factors on important responses. The concepts behind DOE are covered along with some effective types of screening experiments. Case studies will also be presented to illustrate the use of the methods. This highly interactive course will allow participants the opportunity to practice applying DOE techniques with various data sets. The objective is to provide participants with the key tools and knowledge to be able to apply the methods effectively in their process and product development efforts. Why should you attend: · Plan and conduct experiments in an effective and efficient manner · Apply good experimental practices when conducting studies · Determine statistical significance of main and interaction effects · Interpret significant main and interaction effects · Develop predictive models to explain and optimize process/product behavior · Check models for validity · Utilize models for one or more responses to find optimal solutions · Apply very efficient fractional factorial designs in screening experiments · Apply response surface designs for

Basics of the Anti-Kickback Statute : The Anti-Kickback Statute is aimed at curbing abuse and fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid systems by professionals who offer services and benefit in direct or indirect ways. In order to protect Medicare and Medicaid patients, as well as federal health care programs from abuse and fraud; the Anti-Kickback Statute was enacted. The core act that the Anti-Kickback Statute considered as fraud and abuse is the unlawful acceptance or diversion of money into influencing medical decision-making. The Anti-Kickback Statute is very clear on this. It states that anyone in the healthcare industry, who consciously and deliberately accepts a fee or remuneration of any kind or offers the same with the intention of manipulating the course of a medical decision-making, is liable to punishment. What acts attract penalties? Acts of various kinds attract penalties under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these include: Carrying out advertising or marketing activities for promoting the brand of health care providers Participating in affiliate programs or pay per click commissions Working out promotion agreements with multiple companies Taking part in sponsorships Working out strategic alliances with healthcare providers Licensing content or technology Selling a healthcare provider's brands of products or services Taking a cut in the advertising revenue The nature of penalties under the Anti-Kickback Statute The Anti-Kickback Statute states major penalties for acts it prohibits. The Anti-Kickback Statute prescribes these major penalties: Up to five years in prison This has the potential to attract additional monetary fines of up to $25,000 Administrative civil money penalties that can go up to $50,000 In addition, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) could initiate administrative proceedings and take steps aimed at prohibiting anyone convicted of an Anti-Kickback violation from participating in State and federal programs. The OIG could also impose

A Hospital Incident Command System is a wonderfully effective system for handing disasters and emergency situations: A Hospital Incident Command System is an absolute must for hospitals when they have to carry out unforeseen emergencies. Having a process-oriented Hospital Incident Command System is an effective tool for dealing with situations and saving lives. A Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is a standardized process that helps hospitals deal with emergencies, natural or manmade. HICS is common across hospitals in the US and have common terminology and organizational structure. It is a single system that all hospitals have to use. Since emergencies can happen at any time and can be of any gravity; it is imperative for physicians to have a command of how to deal with emergencies by understanding the Hospital Incident Command System and its role in disaster situations. HICS goes beyond patient care. Physicians and other staff need to both have access to disaster-specific and related information to the Hospital Incident Command System, as well as know how to handle it, in order to bring about an effective response and augment an existing one. Advantage of having a Hospital Incident Command System The biggest advantage of having a Hospital Incident Command System is that its practices and processes are similar to those used by external agencies in times of emergency. This makes sharing incident command systems that much more effective and easier to coordinate, and facilitates information flow. Features of a Hospital Incident Command System A Hospital Incident Command System provides a flexible reporting structure with defined roles and responsibilities It sets up and facilitates communication flow and documentation protocol It provides the hospital operations a concrete strategic direction-oriented support by leveraging and optimizing additional resources such as staff and equipment, so that these are used where they are needed the most.
