The original Rosetta Stone didn’t just decode language—it created understanding across cultures. In today’s complex skilled nursing environment, we need that same kind of clarity to move forward with confidence and purpose.

In this candid and forward-looking session, Mark Parkinson reflects on the current state of long-term care and shares why he believes the future is brighter than it may seem. Drawing from years of leadership and policy experience, he offers real insights into what must happen next—from workforce recovery and reimbursement reform to changing the perception of the industry itself.

Attendees will explore the challenges ahead, but more importantly, gain a clear view of what success can look like—and how we get there together.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the sector’s most respected voices—and walk away with renewed energy, direction, and purpose.

Just as the Rosetta Stone unlocked the ability to interpret ancient texts, technology in skilled nursing should translate operational needs into meaningful solutions—not dictate them. Yet, too often, technology providers lead the conversation, telling SNFs what they need rather than listening to what actually drives efficiency, reimbursement, accuracy, and quality outcomes. The result? Facilities paying for costly, underutilized systems that fail to deliver real value.

It’s time to flip the script and put SNFs in the driver’s seat. This session will empower you to define your technology needs on your terms—from essential functionality to cost-effective pricing structures. Learn how to communicate clear expectations to vendors, push for solutions that truly support clinical and financial success, and stop paying for what you don’t use.

The 2024 Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (“CERT”) Program report has unveiled a 17.2% improper payment error, and SNFs continue to lead in those Medicare claim error rates, primarily due to insufficient documentation. Like deciphering an ancient language, understanding the complexities of Medicare Part A compliance requires knowledge, preparation, and the right tools.  By uncovering the common audit findings that often leave providers lost in translation, we will help attendees interpret the patterns behind compliance errors and turn confusion into clarity.  Join us as we unravel the language of compliance through real-world case studies and audience engagement. Attendees will be equipped with the knowledge to interpret and apply compliance principles effectively, ensuring their facility’s success in the ever-evolving regulatory environment.

The “Rosetta Stone” revolutionized our understanding of ancient civilizations by providing a way to translate between three distinct scripts, unlocking knowledge that had been lost for centuries. Similarly, today’s skilled nursing facilities must bridge the gap between “clinical care, therapy, and technology”—translating fragmented data into meaningful action.  

This session will explore how “next-generation therapy management systems act as a modern Rosetta Stone”, integrating “nursing documentation, therapy data, and analytics” to create a more seamless and effective approach to rehabilitation management. Just as scholars used the Rosetta Stone to decipher hieroglyphics, SNFs can use “advanced therapy technology to interpret patterns, predict needs, and optimize care delivery”.  

Through real-world case studies, attendees will examine how “dual-integration with nursing documentation” enables “earlier clinical interventions”, improves care coordination, and ensures therapy is aligned with a facility’s financial and clinical objectives. The session will also explore “how embedded analytics” can be leveraged to “benchmark therapy performance, refine strategic planning, and strengthen relationships with hospital referral sources”.
