NIPP: Nursing Home Infection Prevention Program

• The Nursing Home Infection Prevention Program (NIPP) is a three-day, 17-hour comprehensive program dedicated to Infection Prevention & Control and those that perform this important role and/or oversee it.

RAI/Clinical Reimbursement Program

• The Resident Assessment Instrument/Clinical Reimbursement (RAI/CR) Program is designed to facilitate learning for those who hold the MDS Coordinator role, as well as other facility staff who participate in the RAI process. The Resident Assessment is one of the most important aspects of resident care because it evaluates the resident holistically, with an interdisciplinary approach. The Resident Assessment also provides the opportunity for the resident, and their representative, to participate in their plan of care.  Operationalizing this multi-faceted assessment process is the aim of our clinical reimbursement system, with the ultimate goal of improving resident outcomes while helping providers obtain the appropriate reimbursement for services being rendered. In addition, we focus on key analytics and quality measures. This 18-hour program is delivered over three days live or available in two-hour increments if done virtually. Topics include:

  • RAI Manual – Chapters 2 through 6

  • Care Area Assessments, and Baseline and Comprehensive Care Plans

  • ICD-10 Coding Tips for MDS Coordinators

Proper coding is critical for the resident care and assessment process, support of appropriate clinical reimbursement, and recognition for the care and services provided. This 12-hour certificate program is geared to all levels of participants to establish excellent encoding.
