Leading the New Workforce: Retaining Talent as Employee Expectations EvolveRemember doing business before websites? When employees stayed at a company because they needed the paycheck? Business has changed, and so have the expectations of your employees. As the economy improves, more jobs are available and LinkedIn poachers are likely stealing your top talent. These and other factors mean the power has shifted from employers to employees. Successful companies are now intentionally creating a culture where people WANT to work in order to retain critical talent.This program’s big-picture insight is critical for leaders to hear as yesterday’s luxury items – such as working from home, flexible schedules and transparency – become today’s standard features expected by nearly all employees.Presenter: Leah Brown, Talent Retention StrategistCrescendo StrategiesLouisville, KY

EDUCATIONWednesday, November 15 Session 9 – Discovery, the Gatekeeper of Defense VerdictsSponsored by: McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie & KirklandDocument production is one of, if not the most important, aspects of a nursing home case. The Kentucky Supreme Court in (Baptist Health Richmond, Inc. v. Clouse, 497 S.W.3d 759 (KY 2016), held that if documents are maintained within the facility’s patient safety evaluation system, the requesting party must show that the documents and information were required for compliance with state statutory and regulatory reporting requirements. The adoption of this standard and shifting of burden has given defense counsel an argument for privilege. This session will focus on how facilities and its providers can organize and author such documents to best position itself to argue privilege.

Session 14 - The Struggle To Reduce Antipsychotic Medication Rates and How To Lower ThemVarious efforts have been launched to try to improve care of long-term care (LTC) residents with behavior symptoms and psychiatric conditions, including CMS’s national partnership in 2012 to try to improve “dementia care” and reduce the use of antipsychotic medications. Since 2011, antipsychotic medications use among nursing home residents has declined by approximately 30% nationwide. Despite various efforts, some states, such as Kentucky, are still struggling to reduce their antipsychotic medication rates.This session will address in depth managing behavior and psychiatric symptoms in nursing homes. Based on detailed experience with practice in Kentucky and other states, and actual case examples, the presenter will explain why such challenges exist and persist, and how every Kentucky facility can potentially gain control over its use of all psychopharmacological medications by using an effective care delivery process and following basic principles of clinical reasoning. Actual data will be shown that illustrates the impact of these more optimal approaches.Presenter: Dr. Steven LevensonRegional Medical DirectorGenesis HealthcareBaltimore, MD
