Great to have AMDA - The Society for PALTC Medicine President Suzanne Gillespie present on the CMSGov Nursing Facility Stakeholder Open Forum. Lots of important information! If you are not on, look for recording on CMS website #PALTC #CovidVaccine #NursingFacility #Medicare

Felt like I was back behind the desk at UMBC as Professor Thomas Schaller broke down the Speaker vote and it's implications for the next 2 years. Good to see you again Professor! #umbc #Congress #Politics

Thank you both for your leadership Rep. Mike Levin and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸! This is an important step forward for our patients, residents and their families! Let's work together to get this across the finish line! #paltc #medicaldirector #nursinghome

Good advice from Kathy Zwarick Shanley, PhD, CAE as usual! Very true especially working with younger generations in the work force who are used to this type of environment. Also applicable to working in interdisciplinary medical teams! #leadership #paltc

Someone that can get an interview with top officials in the middle of a war zone can't talk to anyone in our #healthcare system. I guess that makes me feel better that BlueCrossBlueShield has not reimbursed something they said they will for nearly 2 years now and no end in sight

BREAKING NEWS: The #COVID19 national and #publichealthemergency declarations will end on May 11, President Biden announced Monday afternoon in a statement to #Congress. ow.ly/aBJv50MF3n2

This is good news that patients are getting access to this type of care. I do wonder why we are not asking - is the choice this type of care or no care at all due to lack of PALTC clinicians? I would adjust too if those were my choices #PALTC #mentalhealth

After a lobbying bonanza, Medicare officials finalize their tough Medicare Advantage rule, but decide to phase it in slowly. nytimes.com/2023/03/31/hea…

I go from exciting conversations about machine learning and AI in healthcare to being the middle man on the phone between a lab and a physician's office trying to figure out if they have each other's fax number right. ChatGPT, what is a fax machine and why do we still use them?

So folks, the 2024 Medicare Fee Schedule final rule has left CMS and is now at OMB. This is a lightning fast 18 days after the end of the comment period; conventional wisdom would say this means they changed nothing from the proposed rule. (1)
