2026 Reimbursement Collaborative: Strategic Solutions for QIP and PDPM Success - Build the Backbone – Systems That Ensure Accuracy and Accountability

April 16, 2026 | Live Webinar 

Through the LeadingAge Ohio Reimbursement Collaborative, we help providers prove that it's not only possible to achieve high quality ratings and strong reimbursement, but also strategic. High quality and high case mix aren’t mutually exclusive. This collaborative shows how aligning core strategies can strengthen both, because quality and reimbursement should work hand in hand. Additionally, LeadingAge Ohio is excited to share that participants will meet the new Ohio Administrative Code language for the Nursing Home Quality Initiative found in Chapter 173-60 of the OAC by participating in this collaborative. 

The Reimbursement Collaborative will support nursing homes in responding to Ohio’s changes in Medicaid reimbursement. This collaborative will focus on aligning strategies that impact both quality performance and reimbursement outcomes. Each session will help participants identify where QIP measures and PDPM classifications intersect and how system-level changes can drive improvement across both. Participants will also receive facility-specific QIP and PDPM reports to guide data-driven decision-making throughout the series.

This session will take a practical look at where missed opportunities occur within assessments, documentation, and interdisciplinary communication. Participants will learn how to address system weaknesses, redesign workflows, and implement safeguards that improve accuracy and prevent recurring issues, ultimately supporting better quality outcomes and reimbursement. With committed leadership, these system enhancements become part of a sustainable culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
