• Explain the relationship of the Person Centered Care movement to OBRA and resident choice,

• Recognize the collaboration between CMS and the Pioneer Network.

• Describe the process to plan and implement change in collaboration with the survey agencies.

• Recognize the value of process change in implementing culture change.

• Cite stories and positive outcomes that have been realized by communities as they initiate resident-directed programs and services.

Introduction to Legal Nurse Consulting

What is a Legal Nurse Consultant, and exactly what is it they do? Is it better to work in a law firm or independent? Do I have sufficient nursing experience to be an LNC? This day addresses these

commonly asked questions, and many more, as we take a look at this new and challenging nursing subspecialty.

This is the first of three core required courses for registered nurses seeking the Legal Nurse Consultant non-credit certificate through St. Louis Community College.

Medical Records Analysis

Reviewing, summarizing, and analyzing medical records and other pertinent health care documents remains the most frequently cited service rendered by LNC’s in the profession today. How do we acquire medical records? What is a “privileged” record? How do we organize, analyze and summarize medical records in a manner that facilitates the legal process? Beyond lecture, this class provides hands-on practice with mock cases to assist you in the development of your skills in this area.

This is the second class of three core required courses in the LNC non-credit certificate program.

ALLIED HEALTH

Culture Change and the Regulation:

Friend or Foe?

• Explain the relationship of the Person Centered Care movement to OBRA and resident choice,

• Recognize the collaboration between CMS and the Pioneer Network.

• Describe the process to plan and implement change in collaboration with the survey agencies.

• Recognize the value of process change in implementing culture change.
