Faced with the challenges of delivering on the quality care proposition associated with the population health, with the value-based payment system, and CMS Star ratings, healthcare providers have begun collaborating in new ways to manage chronically ill populations, eliminate the need for hospital re-admissions, and improve patient outcomes, while lowering healthcare costs. Acute and post-acute care providers understand that they must achieve the required metrics including percent re-admissions to hospitals, resident falls, resident infections, resident mortalities, integration, physician alignment, controlling total continuum of care costs, and achieving a sustainable margin - if they are to survive, and thrive.
Competitive, therapeutic environments will be critical.
Findings from research associated with thirty post-acute care facilities will be shared, exploring “what’s wrong” with many existing facilities and what is needed. Researched, transformational, built facility solutions will be presented, including a new state of the art memory care facility in Illinois. Learn the evidence-based, best practice design benchmarks for 21st century post-acute environments.
Understand what typically comprises Post Acute services; learn key differences between post-acute and acute care environments; review the required business results areas; and examine current challenges facing post-acute business providers today.
Appreciate key resident safety concerns; hear about regulatory compliance requirements that are different from acute care; grasp key resident needs and solutions that will limit or prevent accidental injuries or deaths of occupants.
Know what’s wrong with many existing facilities; and learn about aspects of architecture that have beneficial effects on occupants.
View best practice design solutions that engender positive emotional and healing responses from occupants; and explore a new memory care facility that has been wildly successful: Case Study: Caledonia Memory Care Facility, North Riverside, Illinois.
