30th ANNUAL

October 2-4, 2013

Breezy Point Resort

Breezy Point, Minnesota

Planned by MN-DONA Lakes Area Directors of Nursing,

MN-DONA District III

WELCOME MNDONA members, both old and new, and guests to our 30th Annual Long Term Care—The

Future IS US Fall Conference at Breezy Point Resort! The Fall Conference Committee is excited about this years’ valua-ble and fun filled agenda for the conference! This year we are having a slightly different format! Instead of having mini modules to start off the conference we will be having a presentation by Sue Voigt regarding “Advanced Directives” from 1-4 PM, SO DON’T BE LATE! Be there or be square! Our opening keynote presentation will be “Are You a Burnout?” by Kit Welchlin. Our closing session features Deadra Stanton presenting, “Don’t Shoot Skinny Rabbits!” Both sessions will have tips on how to avoid burnout and strate-gies to help us to maintain our focus on our daily journey. Another change this year is that Wednesday evening after our keynote presentation there is no scheduled activity! So take time to relax and reconnect with others! As always, we will have specific times dedicated on Wednesday and Thursday to visit the exhibits, talk with vendors and learn about new products that are available to us. And who doesn’t look forward to our WELLNESS BREAK? Take time to relax and do something just for YOU! Visit with old or new friends, shop, golf, read, explore the Breezy Point area, or TAKE A NAP! When we reconvene on Thursday evening our guest speaker, Molly Cox, will present “Note To Self” on engaging peo-ple in their own self care, creating a positive and healthy work/home life! We look forward to you coming to this conference. Our goals are for you to learn valuable information, network with others, encourage and support each other, relax, and have fun at the 30th Annual Fall Conference! Nola Smith Fall Conference Chair

Directives and dementia care in Appendix PP of the SOM. So, the interpretation of the regulations HAS changed. Attorneys Voigt and Boxeth will outline what is new from CMS, and how that impacts the long term care nursing services provided in today’s world. Both Voigt and Boxeth will share their experiences in how MDH and CMS are enforcing the new guidance on these regulations, and will give examples of what is expected to comply with the new guidance. Voigt will offer practice tips on how to implement the new individualized care approaches for dementia care, including how to address the use of antipsychotic medication and document under F309. Boxeth will review the current environment of advanced directives, and also how F155 must be documented to show that advance care planning is occurring and the resident’s rights to refuse treatment respected.
