ASPEN, COLORADO SEPTEMBER 21-22, 2017

2017

Another year has passed, and another LTCH CARE Data

Set is on the horizon. Join colleagues from across the

country for an in-depth look at quality reporting and the

IMPACT Act, new LTCH CARE forms, and LTRAX updates

that will go into effect April 1, 2018. Hear how a faltering

LTACH regained its footing, and get a firsthand account

of the LTCH Patient Experience pilot. Chime in on panel

discussions with your peers about their experiences under

full implementation of LTCH patient criteria and the effect

meeting those demands has on staffing and budgeting.

Together, we will explain, analyze, strategize, and put you

on course to success.

LTRAX National Quality & Compliance Conference just
