· This program meets continuing education requirements for Administrators and Alternates under Texas HCSSA licensing regulations. HCSSA Topic(s) Addressed: §558.259[d][4]agency responsibilities §558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting §558.260[a][5]quality improvement Program Description: The shift to electronic medical records, digital systems, and cloud computing has made capturing and compiling large amounts of data much easier. However, despite having large amounts of data, providers are generally faced with the challenge of not knowing how to leverage the data beyond basic reporting. Moreover, in the home and community care sector in particular, visit, operational information, and clinical data is often stored in paper format -- or if is it digital, resides in siloed databases. These system deficiencies make it near impossible to gain a holistic view of operations and eliminates the ability to “pivot” data. The catalyst for this change is to be obsessed about data-driven decision making. The rise of business intelligence (BI) is unlocking actionable insights that will dramatically improve home and community care organizations. Program Learning Outcome: Participants will be able to cite how to leverage data beyond basic reporting and data driven decision making and describe how these insights could dramatically improve home and community care organizations.

Diversity encaptures more than inclusion. Diversity measures our ability to share differences, build relationships, and be creative thinkers. Identifying healthy solutions to diversity requires a deeper understanding of the many definitions available. The workforce is the breeding ground of innovation, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. While training and mentorship expedite professional development, engaging the workforce’s ideas, energy, and insight leads to improved customer experience, faster innovation, and greater retention rates. As efforts increase for diversity positions and initiatives, inclusivity is the foundation upon which culture is built to last. The world is on the cusp of change and the future requires leadership. What role will you play? It’s time to RESET! Program Learning Objective(s): Participants will actively engage in a discussion of diversity and inclusion by identifying biases that contribute to the lack of diversity, list active approaches to defer anger and anxiety, describe effective strategies for managing difficult conversations, explain how communication can reduce conflict and promote positive change, emotions, compassion, and acceptance.
