Rising Above the Rest: Using Your Brand to Impact Recruitment, Retention, and Reputation

DATE: Thursday, January 20, 2022
Noon – 1 p.m. CST

COURSE DESCRIPTION

As we emerge into the “next normal” in senior care, one thing is certain. What got us this far will not get us where we need to go. COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on our sector. Heightened news media attention took a toll on many communities’ reputations in their markets. And the nation’s current staffing crisis is hitting senior care disproportionately hard.

Now, more than ever, it’s important for a senior care organization to clearly represent its brand—internally and externally. Successful providers are learning to hone their identity, articulate it effectively, then walk the talk. When done well, living your brand brings better outcomes in recruiting and retaining the right staff – as well as managing public perception outside of your walls.

Join operations and marketing strategists Lisa Thomson and CC Andrews for practical tips on how to own your brand, express it, and align practices and processes with those values to meaningfully differentiate your organization from the rest.

Join this webinar to:

  • Learn to describe your brand promise to internal and external stakeholders in terms they understand

  • Discover how to align practices and processes with your organization’s brand

  • Identify ways being true to your brand will attract and keep the right staff

Appropriateness of Drug Therapy

Modern medicines have contributed to longer life spans and improved quality of life. However, when not used appropriately, effectively, and safely, medications can have devastating consequences. There are several risk factors that can lead to polypharmacy, including having multiple medical conditions managed by multiple prescribers. Monitoring patients’ active medication lists and deprescribing any unnecessary medications are recommended to reduce pill burden, risks of adverse drug events, and financial hardship. This session will review medications with increased risk of complications in the elderly and presents a process for patient active medication list monitoring and deprescribing as a therapeutic intervention.

Pain Management in Older Adults

An estimated 50% of older adults living at home and up to 80% of those living in nursing homes have significant pain that is often persistent. There are many challenges that can make it difficult to treat pain in this age group, most notably the presence of other significant health problems and the difficulty of assessing pain in those with cognitive impairment. This session will review different pain types and discuss the misconceptions and consequences of untreated pain in the elderly. Analgesic therapies are examined and the current Illinois laws and regulations, and considerations for use of Cannabis are presented.		 MORE INFO

Plants or Pills? The Truth About Dietary Supplements

The use of dietary supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, plant products, and herbal therapies has become a routine part of the American lifestyle. But often, these items are marketed as having benefits that are unsubstantiated; do not carry adequate warnings about when they interfere with lab tests; interfere with prescribed drugs; and may be completely misused by the patient because they are “all-natural” and “must be safe, right?” Health and senior care professionals are relied upon by patients/residents and their families to have accurate information about the uses and effects of these products. Using evidence-based research, we will review the current clinical findings and safety profiles of numerous over-the-counter products used by seniors for various medical and psychological conditions. Armed with these facts, health/senior care providers will be able to advise their residents and families with more confidence.		 MORE INFO
