TAHC&H Faculty/Presenter: Kimberly R. Stuart, JD, Shareholder, Crain Caton & James
About the Presenter:
Kimberly R. Stuart practices appellate law, commercial litigation, and employment and labor law.
As the oldest of her generation in a very large Italian family from Brooklyn (who got to Texas as quickly as she could), Kimberly learned early that to be heard,
you have to get into the action, make your point quickly, and be ready to defend it. Kimberly puts this experience to use in her practice by dealing with her clients
openly and frankly. Kimberly’s representative employment law experience includes successfully defending employers in FLSA wage actions and Title VII litigation.
An important part of Kimberly’s practice is helping her clients avoid litigation altogether through reviewing contracts, conducting self-audits to ensure regulatory
compliance, and assisting clients with best practices training and compliance. In her employment practice outside the courtroom, Kimberly handles all varieties of
employment disputes, including claims of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and employment-related torts.
She drafts, evaluates, and updates personnel handbooks, workplace policies, employment contracts, and severance agreements. Kimberly has defended numerous clients
in matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Texas Workforce Commission, and the Department of Labor, as well as other state and federal agencies,
resulting in dismissals.

Program Description:

OSHA ETS, CDC requirements, Blanket Waivers, staffing shortages, and government assistance programs.

Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.

Faculty: Angie Parks, United Healthcare; Robert Wells and Ceseley Rollins, Superior Health Plan; Kelley Longhofer, Community First
Program Description: Texas Medicaid payors are beginning to look at new payment models called “Value-Based Payments (VBP)
and/or Value Based Contracting (VBC).” The idea behind the new models is for payors to work with providers to ensure delivery of high quality and cost-effective care to their members.
TAHC&H brings you three (3) Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to present a panel discussion about steps a provider might want to take for structuring a VBP/VBC with a payor.
Providers will also learn how these (3) Texas MCOs are currently rolling-out VBP/VBC. They will spend time discussing the process they implement with providers and elements
needed to create VBP/VBC. Implementing a program in collaboration with your MCO could earn your organization rewards for quality services and care. Understanding how your data is
involved as well as other reporting requirements is critical to your success, so don’t miss this opportunity to be ahead of the curve rather than behind it!

Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.

§558.260[a][4]ethics
§558.260[a][8]skills for working with clients, families, and other professional service providers
Program Description:Home Health agencies have a duty of care for the patients/clients they serve. A duty of care refers to the obligation to
take responsible care to avoid injury to a person whom, it can be reasonably foreseen, might be injured by an act or omission. Omission is often the area that puts agencies at greatest risk.
A clinician didn’t know how to meet a need, therefore, they overlook that it exist. In home health, the care you provide must be looked at through a multidisciplinary lens where multiple
complex issues will arise. As an Administrator, there will be times you are dependent on outside resources, and community partners, to solve a need. It is also important to understand
ethical issues associated with using outside resources, including ensuring that there are no “kickbacks” associated with using other community partners.
This presentation teaches Administrators how, and where, to locate community resources for their patients/clients, how to utilize community resources in an
ethical way, as well as how to train field staff, to recognize issues in the home care setting that might warrant the use of community resources.
Program Learning Outcome: Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and identify ethical issues associated with using community resources
and ways to recognize issues in the home care setting that might warrant the use of community resources.
