2026 Reimbursement Collaborative: Strategic Solutions for QIP and PDPM Success - From Data to Direction: Evaluating Your QIP & PDPM Outcomes

February 19, 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.

Using updated facility-specific QIP and PDPM reports, we will examine current trends influencing quality outcomes and reimbursement. Participants will gain a clearer picture of how their facility compares statewide and identify key areas for improvement. This discussion will reinforce how strong quality outcomes grow from engaged teams and leadership that inspires staff to stay, grow, and perform at their best.
