You could spend a lifetime mastering any one of the changes facing the health care industry today. But don’t. As soon as you master the crises du jour, another one will take its place. Instead, learn how to engage during change so you can effectively lead no matter what challenge and transition you encounter. People look to leaders and others for answers when the ground starts to shake from the latest implementation, funding crisis, or regulatory mandate. Are you prepared to engage yourself − and then others − so you can succeed regardless of any obstacle? Learn key lessons found in positive psychology about how to engage.

Targeted Probe and Educate (TPE) began in 2017 and has been fully implemented across the country. This workshop will allow home health staff members to obtain information in order to evaluate where their agency would stand if TPE comes to their agency today. This medical review probe was implemented to identify agencies that are being inappropriately reimbursed by Medicare. TPE results from the Medicare Administrative Contractors will be shared, which includes some very unnerving statistics. The inner workings of this program and how an agency can survive this level of review will be addressed. Directors, clinicians, and quality review staff will not want to miss this session.  Speaker/Course Author - Melinda A. Gaboury, COS-C  Read more
