CEUs – 1 CEU for SNF
We know the COVID-19 pandemic historical impact on our Pennsylvania and nation’s nursing homes. Using analysis of the most recent reimbursement, Five-Star, PBJ Staffing, and Covid-filings data, CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP) will look forward to 2022-close and 2023 to highlight the cost of care and other operations in Pennsylvania and national nursing homes. The results will be shared for Pennsylvania and regions within Pennsylvania. Without further government programs, the result will be a cost of care still far exceeding Pennsylvania and Federal reimbursement rates, projecting negative margins even for the highly-rated, high occupancy. The presentation will close with projecting the financial, workforce, and occupancy impact if/when other states (eg, New York) or a Federal yet-to-be-announced nursing staffing mandates come to Pennsylvania. The unprecedented challenges will likely continue to have financial impacts and result in reduced access to care for seniors in Pennsylvania.
Learning Objectives:
1) Dissect and illustrate the Pennsylvania nursing performance before the effect of any staffing mandates
2) Present the effect of the Pennsylvania and CMS staffing mandates on providers, in order of cost, additional staffing, and decrease in census if staffing is level
3) Estimate the impact of the CMS Star staffing rating calculation on Pennsylvania providers
