"Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary" 1.0 CE
"The Community Integration Model" 1.0 CE
Chuck Bongiovanni MSW, MBA, CSA, CFE
"Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary and The Community Integration Model offers a clear view of what current and pending Medicare mandates mean for acute- and post-acute care providers in the post-Affordable Care Act (ACA) landscape. Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary or MSPB is the newest hospital penalty that was recently introduced by CMS. This penalty focuses on the case management department and the case managers in that department and could change the way we look at data, best practices and patient choice. The Community Integration Model (CIM) is a disruptive innovation to the current Continuum of Care. The CIM is an alternative discharge planning model that enhances patient choice while reduces Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary Measures. It is a different way of thinking and processing when thinking about patient’s right to benefits vs a patient’s right of choice. The CIM is currently being used in over 50 hospitals across the nation and this presentation will discuss aspects of the model as well as some surprising outcomes. You will come away with a different way of thinking about what true patient choice looks like."
Chuck Bongiovanni, MSW, MBA, CSA, CFE, is widely regarded as a National Post-Acute Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) Measures expert and speaker. Click HERE for his full bio.

"I will be discussing the state of COPD as of 2016 including a review of the it’s pathophysiology, current and past methods of making a diagnosis, and recognizing factors, both familial and environmental, that influence the prognosis of this disease. I will also discuss the importance of recognizing exacerbations and what they mean for future COPD prognosis. Lastly, I will discuss both old and new treatments for this disease, and how a “team approach” can improve the quality of life for the patient and their family."
