Can efficiency be found in a COVID world? 2020 brought unprecedented challenges for long term care and senior-living. Between crises like the pandemic and other natural disasters and weather-related crises, on top of the financial impact and delayed elective surgeries - it proved to be our most unpredictable year yet.
Join Omnicare's Jim Love and Nancy Losben in discussing the importance of COVID-19 testing and vaccination, what we can do to manage the potential “twindemic” and what we can anticipate in 2021. This session will also provide insights on CMS’s “Patients over Paperwork” initiative and provide examples of how facility staff can streamline administrative and operational functions to provide more hands-on resident care during the most pressing time in long term care.
Learning objectives:
Devise improved communication systems with ancillary care providers
Decrease the administrative time spent on the management of medications and pharmacy services
Selecting the best tools to assess resident condition during COVID-19 and the 2020-2021 Influenza Season
