3 Board Training Track Corporate Compliance for Board Members Marcie Zakheim, Esq, Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP Health Center Board members are vested with numerous legal responsibilities, establishing health center priorities & ensuring organizational compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies. The Health Reform Bill includes enhanced corporate accountability measures and fraud enforcement activities, and mandates corporate compliance programs, thus magnifying the importance of these duties. Now more than ever, effective corporate governance requires Board members to develop a clear understanding of their legal roles and responsibilities and, in particular, their corporate responsibility duties. Strategic Planning Pamela Byrnes, NACHC Clinical Quality Track Models for Patient-Centered Care: The Need for Improving Chronic Care Management Dr. E. Mark Watts, Carilion Clinic, Roanoke, VA Dr. Watts will present evidence of the need to improve the quality of care for patients with chronic medical conditions, introduce the Chronic Care Model (CCM) and how it supports high-quality chronic care management within the Patient- Centered Medical Home, and describe how chronic care model relates to other patient-centered care models (Patient -Centered Medical Home).

Emily Beauregard, Family Health Centers Mary Beth Wright, Kosair Children s Hospital The KHIE Connection: Partnering to Improve Patient Health Outcomes Polly Mullins Bentley, Deputy Director, GOEHI The Commonwealth of Kentucky strives to be a leader in our nation s journey to advance health information technology to transform paper health records into electronic health records. With initiatives underway to enhance the quality, safety, and efficiency of health care for all Kentuckians, the Commonwealth is at the forefront of Health information Technology. The Kentucky Health Information Exchange offers the Commonwealth an unparalleled opportunity to support our health care system in adopting and using health information technology. This will not only encourage but enable the health care provider to participate in a secure Health Information Exchange (HIE), where valuable health information will be available when and where it is needed to achieve the best positive patient outcomes. Because other industries have already embraced information technology, our health care system can capitalize on advances already made to ensure the privacy and security of shared health information. This presentation will provide history and an update on the Kentucky Health Information Exchange including the impact of ARRA legislation and HITECH funding on the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Corporate Compliance Track Tuesday 8:00 am-5:00 pm Corporate Compliance for Clinic Staff Adam Falk, Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP In addition to making significant changes to the health care system, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act grants new authority to enforcement agencies, increases potential financial penalties, and establishes new government audit programs. Now, for the first time, compliance programs will also become mandatory conditions of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. Undoubtedly, these changes create significant risks for clinics that lack an effective corporate compliance program to maintain compliance with the myriad legal, regulatory, and financial requirements. This compliance training will provide your clinic with information, tools, and tips to implement your compliance program and to maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 3

4 In the one-day training program, the morning sessions will identify action steps for implementing your compliance program and describe emerging enforcement trends. The afternoon sessions will delve into financial and legal requirements for key clinic risk areas. Managed Care Track Preparing for Managed Care: Key Considerations for Primary Care Clinics and Health Centers Adam J. Falk, Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, managed care is likely to account for an increasing amount of revenues for primary care clinics and health centers that serve medically underserved populations. State trends indicate that Medicaid programs will turn to managed care to controls costs as Medicaid eligibility expands. Furthermore, many patients who were previously uninsured will purchase subsidized coverage from managed care organizations (MCOs) operating in the State health benefit exchanges. To thrive in this new environment, clinics and health centers need to understand the financial, clinical and operational implications of managed care and take steps now to prepare and strategize. Goals: Participants will recognize internal business processes that may need to be adjusted or adopted to maximize revenue under managed care Participants will identify what training and hiring investments in administrative and clinical staff may be necessary to fulfill their duties as a primary care provider (PCP) in managed care Participants will know what legal provisions should be included in their managed care contracts to minimize potential financial and legal exposures Text: Managed Care Handbook (forthcoming NACHC publication expected for release in early Fall 2011) ments, having team competencies is critical to organizational success. In this training, you will learn strategies and skills for building, evaluating and maintaining team competencies including: Goal-setting Building trust and mutual respect Determining roles and responsibilities and holding members accountable Decision-making Running effective team meetings Resolving conflicts Evaluating and improving team effectiveness over time. Tuesday 8:00 am-5:00 pm Practical Coaching Skills for Managers Sue Brundege, Integrated Work Strategies Improve employee performance, deal with difficult situations, and make your work-life easier by learning how to coach while you manage. Coaching is valuable in the workplace because it lays the foundation for significant performance improvements based on mutual respect, collaboration, and accountability between manager and employee.

Management Track Teams are essential to Patient-Centered Medical Homes. Join these sessions to gain critical competencies for effective teams.
