REGISTER HERE   Stroke remains a major health concern worldwide, often leaving survivors with lasting physical impairments and significantly reduced quality of life (QoL). Addressing these challenges requires more than traditional clinical care—it demands a coordinated, patient-centered approach. Join us for this insightful webinar showcasing a quality improvement initiative conducted at Al Hada Armed Forces Hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia, aimed at transforming the care experience for ischemic stroke survivors. With an average modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3.33 among patients—indicating considerable functional limitations—this project sought to enhance poststroke outcomes through the implementation of a comprehensive, evidence-based case management model. Spanning from May 2022 to July 2023, the project was executed in three structured phases: Extensive literature review, Development of a targeted intervention protocol, and Implementation and outcome evaluation using a quasi-experimental design.

The session will also explore qualitative insights into patient compliance and the holistic impact on daily living. Whether you're a clinician, healthcare leader, or advocate, this webinar offers practical, replicable strategies for elevating stroke care and patient […]

REGISTER HERE   Hosted By: CMSA Atlanta Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs) represent a targeted and increasingly vital component of Medicare Advantage, specifically structured to support individuals who reside in long-term care facilities for 90 days or longer. These plans are designed to address the unique clinical, social, and functional needs of a medically complex and often underserved population. With the rise in value-based payment models and the ongoing transformation of eldercare delivery, I-SNPs are becoming a strategic pathway to deliver coordinated, cost-effective, and person-centered care. This session provides an exploration of I-SNPs from conceptual foundation to practical implementation. Attendees will examine eligibility criteria, enrollment considerations, and the various models of care delivery that make I-SNPs distinct from traditional Medicare and other managed care plans. The presentation will also dissect the business case for I-SNPs in skilled nursing and assisted living environments, including their potential to reduce avoidable hospitalizations, manage chronic conditions more effectively, and improve quality metrics that impact reimbursement.
