Page 4 Program Schedule Breakout Sessions III CMS REGULATIONS: STRATEGIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION ERIC CARLSON, Esq. Nationally-known speaker, Eric Carlson, will examine the recently-revised federal nursing facility regulations. The new regulations are the first major revision since the regulations originally were released in the early 1990s, and cover virtually every aspect of nursing facility operations. The regulations reflect four plus years of work by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and hundreds of comments submitted by stakeholders in response to 2015 proposed regulations. The presentation will focus on how the regulations can be used to protect residents, and will include such important topics as admission, care planning, staffing, resident rights, community access, and transfer/discharge. Speakers: Eric Carlson, District Attorney, Justice in Aging Target Audience: Long-term care owners, administrators, executive directors, directors of nursing, activity directors, social workers and family members.

Page 5 Breakout Sessions IV (Choose Only One) UNNECESSARY DRUGS AND ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICATION Dr. John morley Residents of long term care communities are often times placed on antipsychotic medications despite having no proper diagnosis to warrant their use. In fact, 16.1% of nursing home residents were given antipsychotic medications in 2016. This use is much higher among residents with dementia - the very individuals that the Food and Drug Administration warns are at serious risk of medical complications and death from taking antipsychotics. The Society for Post Acute and Long Term Care Medicine found in a 2016 study that 68% of residents with dementia across 57 nursing home facilities were given antipsychotic drugs. Clinical trials have also found them ineffective in patients with delirium and even worsen both distress-related delirium symptoms and patient survivals. So why are they still being prescribed? This session will stress the problems of polypharmacy and drugs in older persons. It will outline the dangers of antipsychotic medications and provide more effective alternatives to drugs that focus on determining the resident's needs and seeing a resident's behavior as a method of non-verbal communication, rather than something to be suppressed with drugs. Speaker: Dr. John Morley, Dammert Professor of Gerontology, Director, Division of Geriatric Medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Target Audience: Administrators, executive directors, directors of nursing, activity directors, social workers, family members and caregivers. FALLS TECHNOLOGY FOR CMS INITIATIVES George chronis The best way to treat illnesses and other negative life events is to prevent them from happening. Earlier detection of deteriorating health conditions reduces hospitalizations and emergency room visits, lowers the cost of care and slows the progression through the continuum of care. Care providers need detailed, accurate and timely information in order to shift from reactive to proactive care. In the past, limited resources often forced care providers to rely on self-reported information or family and caregiver observations. At best, these observations provided a snapshot of the resident s then-current situation. At worst, the observations were inaccurate or incomplete. Eldercare allows caregivers to make observations earlier, with more complete information, and then to act upon that information quickly. Eldercare helps detect emerging conditions near the onset to keep a minor issue from becoming an acute incident that could threaten a resident s health, wellness, and independence. Speaker: George Chronis, CEO, Foresite Healthcare Target Audience: Long-term care owners, administrators, executive directors, directors of nursing, social workers, admissions coordinators, marketing coordinators and family members. Outstanding conference! - 2016 conference attendee Culture Change Success Stories Panel
