PDPM Academy
Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM)

 

The Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) will be here before you know it, October 1, 2019. LeadingAge Kansas has partnered with BKD CPAs and Advisors to bring you the professionally designed PDPM Academy. The PDPM Academy will give you the insights, the tools and access to experts that you will help you be ready for the new model like a pro. Building a foundation now will help you be PDPM prepared. Each session will build upon the rules and regulations that CMS puts out as we progress through the year with this academy. Sign up now, you won't want to miss a thing.

*The purchase of any Webinar, Q&A Call or Roundtable includes the PDPM Toolkit.

PDPM Webinar, December 19, 2018, 2:00 - 3:00pm

PDPM Video Checkpoint, January 9, 2019 in the Aging Update
“Forming your implementation committee and related subcommittees will put your organization on track for a successful implementation of the Patient Driven Payment Model. It is important to start early to reduce the stress on you, your staff and assure your organization is prepared. Included in the upcoming webinar will be the BKD Implementation Checklist. It is also time to reach out to your partner organizations to see how they are preparing and their timeline for implementation, for example, your information technology and therapy providers. During this phase identify the codes that crosswalk to the PDPM clinical categories for reimbursement.”

Q & A Call Ask an Expert Session, January 15, 2019, 2:00 - 3:00pm | A reminder will be sent out to submit your questions by January 11. 
Please utilize the video checkpoint description above and video from January 9th to help you formulate and organize your questions for the Q&A Call.

PDPM Roundtables, February 20 - 22, 2019 - Locations TBD, 3 hours at 3 different locations across the state 
Incorporating best practices will make these roundtables the best forum to tee up each concept for your implementation team’s preparation for the Patient Driven Payment Model. The roundtable will consist of open discussion, group activities and Q&A. This opportunity will be an effort to prepare all for the upcoming changes and be able to focus towards best practices. The direction we are planning to take in the February roundtable is small group discussions that will center around the formation of your implementation committee and related subcommittees. You will also hold your focus around working with your partners (i.e. therapy and software providers) to make sure they are fully engaged with you in this process. Ideas will be shared on where to access information on MDS and ICD-10 preparation and coding. This will be a great opportunity to discuss whatever you are needing most at this time.

PDPM Video Checkpoint, March 11, 2019 in the Aging Update
“With less than six months until you go live with PDPM, the focus is what needs to be completed this quarter. A complete knowledge of how the MDS will impact reimbursement as well as a working knowledge of diagnosis coding and how they crosswalk to reimbursement is critical. You should also be narrowing down who your technology partners will be for this transition. At this phase it will be important to know your nursing staff have a plan to address ICD-10 coding for the primary diagnosis. Continue your dialogue with your therapy company.”

Q&A Call Ask an Expert Session, March 21, 2019, 2:00 - 3:00pm | A reminder will be sent out to submit your questions by March 15.
Please utilize the video checkpoint description above and video from March 11th to help you formulate and organize your questions for the Q&A Call.

PDPM Video Checkpoint, June 3, 2019 in the Aging Update
“With four months until your go live date for PDPM, training on nursing documentation should begin as well as streamlining communication between therapy, nursing and MDS. Now is the perfect time to begin practicing for PDPM with Medicare Managed Care Patients. Your triple check process will need to undergo revision and this is the phase at which you should be placing these systems in place.”

Q&A Call Ask an Expert Session, June 11, 2019, 2:00 - 3:00pm | A reminder will be sent out to submit your questions by June 7.

PDPM RoundtablesJuly 17, 2019 - Salina Public Library: McKenzie Classroom 2, 12:30 - 4:30 PM & July 18, 2019 - Wichita Public Library - Evergreen Branch: Parkview Room A, 12:30 - 4:30 PM
The July roundtables will keep the same format with open discussion, group activities and Q&A. But this will be a deeper dive into what’s to come with therapy, nursing and MDS regarding documentation and communication. Together with the support of LeadingAge Kansas, BKD, colleagues and other providers as the date PDPM goes into effect grows closer you will need to work on really building your knowledge and skills. This roundtable is exactly the place to do that.

PDPM Webinar, August 6, 2019, 2:00 - 3:00pm
We would like to wait as we see the rulings come out to provide an accurate description for this webinar. Our goal is to build upon the education we have already given you and without the rulings we cannot properly do so. The final education of PDPM Academy is crucial, but what is most important is that you begin to actively work on this transition with your team and organization as soon as possible. You will only be successful if you are active in your efforts to be educated and working on an implementation plan for PDPM.

PDPM Video Checkpoint, September 18, 2019 in the Aging Update
“With less than a month before the transition to PDPM the key will be weekly and daily ‘pop-up’ trainings for all staff connected to your Medicare program. This is the time to begin testing their knowledge and problem solving skills. Your therapy contract should be finalized and systems should be in place for interdisciplinary team communication at least 5 days per week to discuss proper ICD-10 coding, information for the MDS affecting reimbursement and supporting documentation across the care team.”
