LeadingAge Ohio Annual Conference and Trade Show Life On Purpose Countdown to Conference

Tuesday, August 28, 2018 | 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Speaking Engagement

Isabelle Bibet-Kalinyak will speak at the LeadingAge Ohio Annual Conference and Tradeshow August 28-30, 2018 in Columbus, OH. This year's theme, "Life On Purpose" gives us the opportunity to reflect on the WHY we do what we do.

A clear sense of purpose enables you to focus on what matters most, taking risks regardless of the challenges or obstacles ahead. As aging services providers, it's easy for us to see the value of our work. The lives we touch and the families and caregivers we support—all have an impact well beyond the walls of our organizations.

However, to find real purpose and meaning in what we do, it is important that we tap our own potential, find the courage and determination to live our mission with focus on the values, talent, skills and passion of those we serve to make a difference in the world.

Isabelle will speak August 29 at 10:15 a.m.:
Medical Marijuana: Clinical and Legal Update
On June 6, 2016, Governor Kasich officially legalized the use of medical marijuana in the State of Ohio. However, the Ohio medical marijuana program still faces significant hurdles. In 2018, implementation of the law is still in the works and medical marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. This session will explain the scope and limitations of the Ohio medical marijuana program from a legal perspective and analyze the clinical evidence or at times, the lack thereof, supporting the use of medical marijuana, notably in the elderly population

Over the past 24 months, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights has brought notable enforcement efforts against several non-profit covered entities and business associates, resulting in instances of six and seven-figure penalties against providers across the county for incidents involving breaches of protected health information.

A new amendment to New York state law, which would have required all healthcare providers to obtain separate consents from patients for treatment and payment is on hold until further guidance is released, according to the New York Department of Health.

On November 1, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule 2025 final rule, which establishes new advanced primary care management billing codes that will expand opportunities for physician practices, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics and other health care providers to get paid for services provided by clinical staff under the direction of a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant beginning January 1, 2025.
