Combating change: A legal and clinical look at the biggest skilled nursing changes during COVID-19

Presented by:
Teresa Remy, Jeffrey Baird, and Kelly Custer

COVID-19 has put skilled nursing providers in an unprecedented situation. Caregivers have continued to provide the very best care to their residents while scrambling to keep up with continuously changing rules and rand regulations. At times, this has created a chaotic culture.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in vast changes to telehealth rules and new regulations regarding the operation of skilled nursing facilities. These changes not only have legal ramifications but clinical ramifications as well.

In this free webinar, legal experts Jeff Baird, JD, and Kelly Custer, JD, and clinical expert Teresa Remy will update skilled nursing providers on the legal and clinical ramifications of these updates.

After the webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Recognize the most important changes in telehealth laws and rules
  • Understand recent legislation and executive orders that affect the daily operations of skilled nursing facilities
  • Understand the legal steps to take now to avoid types of lawsuits a plaintiff's attorney may pursue after the pandemic
