Two Timely Compliance Education Offerings Coming Up in October

LeadingAge Ohio is offering two important programs in October to support nursing facilities in preparing for upcoming changes and staying compliant.

On Thursday, October 9, MDS nurses and clinical leaders can attend Reimbursement Day at the Quest Conference Center in Westerville. This full-day workshop will prepare facilities for Ohio Medicaid’s adoption of the nursing-only component of PDPM beginning in 2026, while also addressing Medicare Part A reimbursement. The training will feature facility-specific financial projections, interactive coding case studies, and strategies that connect MDS coding to both reimbursement and quality outcomes. 

The following week, on Wednesday, October 15, members are invited to a live webinar with ODH: Life Safety and Emergency Preparedness Hot Topics, Updates and Best Practices for Compliance. Experts from the Bureau of Survey and Certification will provide the latest updates on Life Safety Code deficiencies, best practices for compliance, and new requirements under Appendix Z. The session will conclude with a moderated question-and-answer discussion to address member concerns. 

Together, these timely programs will equip providers with the knowledge and tools to strengthen compliance and position their organizations for success in the year ahead.
