A limited number of rooms have been blocked at the OHCA rate. The hotel may have additional rooms available once all of the OHCA rooms are gone, but they may not be at the special rate, even if you contact them prior to the cutoff date. It is unlikely that they will be able to extend the cutoff date of August 2 due to the busy nature of their hotel and since rooms go quickly, there may not be any available rooms left at that point. I would encourage you to make your reservation now for the 2018 event. The single rate is $134 and includes breakfast buffet. group code 155469

Schedule of Events:

8:00 am
Summit Check In & Continental Breakfast
During Summit Check In, you will receive your name badge and handouts for the Summit. Also, take this time to network with other long-term care professionals and select vendors.

8:30 am - 9:30 am General Session: Abuse and Neglect Prevention: Beyond the Policy

A system for abuse and neglect prevention is more than written policy. In this session utilizing case study analysis, participants will engage in discussions on how to identify the potential cause of incidents and develop practices which effectively prevent reoccurrence and establish prevention systems that are effective.

Maintaining a system goes beyond staff training. Participants will learn strategies for monitoring, assessing and identifying concerns. How to keep a prevention strategy successful and train staff in the ?beyond the policy? implementation of a system will also be discussed.

Presented by: Marilyn Weber, Rolf Consulting

9:30 am - 9:45 am Networking Break

9:45 am - 10:45 am Concurrent Sessions: Select One

1. Avoiding Citations: Emergency Preparedness and Life Safety Code

With CMS now surveying facilities under the 2012 edition of the Life Safety Code for health care facilities, as well as the Emergency Preparedness Requirements which began in November of 2017, ICF-IID providers need to be aware of the requirements and how best to develop policies, procedures and training to avoid citations. In addition, CMS continues to update its Legionella requirements. This session will provide an overview of the emergency preparedness rule as it specifically applies to ICF-IID providers, address lessons learned from the first year of ODH enforcement, and address recent trends in Life Safety Code deficiencies.

Presented by: Dustin Ellinger, Rolf Consulting & ODH Life Safety Staff

2. Ohio's Implementation of Electronic Visit Verification

Electronic Visit Verification of Medicaid funded personal care in home visits, which is a federal requirement of the 21st Century Cures Act, is already required in Ohio?s home health programs and ID/DD waiver services are next up in Phase 2, which will begin in early 2019.

This session will give attendees an understanding of how Ohio has decided to utilize EVV in our Medicaid program. Implementation processes and timelines for ID/DD providers will be shared as well as some strategies for minimizing business impacts.
Presented by: Debbie Jenkins, OHCA/OCID

10:45 am - 11:00 am Networking Break

11:00 am - 12:00 noon Concurrent Sessions: Select One

3. ICF Quality Measures Data Collection

Beginning in state fiscal year 2021 (July 2020), the DSPP that providers get as part of the new rate structure will be replaced with a quality payment component. Providers will have the opportunity to earn a quality payment based on thirteen quality measures. However, the data collection period begins January 1, 2019.

In this session, OHCA's Pete Van Runkle will review the 13 quality measures and the status of the quality workgroup, which is assisting with implementation guidelines. He will be joined by OCID members who have begun looking at how their organizations plan to collect data for the different measures.

Presented by: Pete Van Runkle, OHCA/OCID; Karen Knavel, New Avenues; Nisi Pozderac, Transitional Living Centers

4. Remote Supports - Real Life Provider Experiences

With Ohio becoming a technology first state and the changes to remote support services under the waivers, many providers are interested in beginning or expanding the use of technology. However, it seems that most of the information available has been from the vendors who sell the technology.

This session will be a panel of providers who actually use remote supports for people they serve and will focus on their experiences, both good and bad. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions so come prepared to participate in the discussion.

Presented by: Than Johnson, CEO and Scott DeLong, President CRSI; Fran Nichols, Anne Grady

12:00 noon - 1:00 pm Networking Luncheon (included in your registration fee)

After a morning of learning, you've earned some time to unwind! Use this time to discuss the morning's events with fellow attendees, connect with some new friends and share best practices.

1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Concurrent Sessions: Select One

5. Benefits Beyond a Paycheck

In this session you'll find out which benefits are most desirable to employees, and hear first-hand how one nonprofit reduced employee turnover by getting to understand their workforce better and assessing what daily instability in the lives of its employees was really costing.

You'll come away learning more about the impact of economic class and daily instability on your organization's workforce, and how to use this knowledge to support your employees, create a fantastic culture, and establish an Employer Resource Network (ERN) to improve the lives of those you support through innovative programs.

Presented by: Carrie Arnold, Sunshine

6. Serving People with Challenging Behaviors: For Management

This session will speak to those individuals within the ID/DD system who are currently considered and/or being identified as challenging or difficult to serve; specifically, persons with co-occurring mental health disorders, those with a history of trauma, and/or those who are forensically involved. The session will discuss these aforementioned populations through a management / administrative lens, focusing on matters such as enhancing service delivery, improving staff competency, building staff resiliency (e.g. reducing burnout), and creating a trauma-informed agency culture.

Presented by: Carl Vondracek, Rose Mary Center

2:30 pm - 2:45 pm Networking Break

2:45 pm - 4:15 pm General Session: DODD Hot Topics Including the MUI Rule Changes

In the closing session, DODD Director John Martin will join us to share the latest news on high priority initiatives being undertaken by the department. There will be time for Q&A, so come prepared to ask Director Martin any burning questions you may have about our field.

In addition, DODD's Scott Phillips, will look at the recent MUI rule changes and their impact on providers, employees and individuals, as well as the current trends in citations.
