Rural skilled nursing facilities (SNF) face challenges that are unique or exacerbated by their size and location. These include census, labor and expense management challenges. This session will focus on solutions for the specific challenges of rural SNFs, including new strategies innovative providers are implementing to address these challenges. In addition, this webinar will assist rural SNFs with value proposition development, value-based purchasing involvement and guidance on developing formal partnerships with other community care providers.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain how your organization can address staffing challenges by centralizing certain job functions through partnership with other communities
- Define your value proposition as a rural provider to better meet the service and care needs of hospitals in your area
- Describe how your organization can test-drive Value-Based Purchasing as a survival strategy before fully getting on board
