This month brings with it the promise of autumn and a new chance to embrace education with the McKnight’s Annual Fall Online Expo.
The free event returns on Wednesday, Sept. 26, with sessions on three hot topics in the long-term care field: cybersecurity, staffing and MDS changes.
Experts from Eliza Jennings Senior Care Network will start things off at 11 a.m. Eastern Time with the first session, “Cyber threats and compliance challenges: Managing technology risk in aging services.” Jennifer Griveas, chief human resources officer, and Michael Gray, director of IT, will explore some of the most common threats, both external and internal, and offer best practices and interventions for users and IT professionals.
Deb Reardanz, the president and CEO of Clark-Lindsey Village, will host the 1 p.m. ET session, titled “New strategies in staffing: Developing a partnership with your local university.” Along with the village’s Director of Strategic Initiatives Laura Edwards, they’ll discuss how their continuing care retirement community has engaged with a local university to improve retention, support existing clinical staff and attract new talent.
Payment guru Leah Klusch, RN, BSN, head of the Alliance Training Center, will close things out at 3 p.m. ET with “Are you ready for the changes coming to MDS 3.0?” Her presentation will examine the looming changes to coding in the RAI manual update, along with process suggestions and organizational recommendations.
