Exciting Developments in Long-Term Care Industry at LeadingAge Conference

Sound Accountable Care, recognized as a leading player in long-term care, is set to present its groundbreaking initiatives at the annual LeadingAge National Conference this October. Taking place from October 25 to 28 in Philadelphia, this event will gather professionals from across the spectrum of aging services to highlight advancements in the industry.

Who is LeadingAge?

LeadingAge stands as a prominent national organization representing over 5,300 nonprofit providers of aging services.

This year's annual meeting promises to be a melting pot of innovators, researchers, and policymakers, all working toward building a society that is well-equipped for longevity.

Featured Session with Expert Insights

One of the highlights at the conference will be a session led by Brian Carpenter, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Telemedicine at Sound Accountable Care. Scheduled for 3 PM on Tuesday, October 27, the session titled "Primary Care Partnerships: How They Work, Why They Matter" aims to explore the vital role that partnerships between accountable care organizations (ACOs) and primary care entities play in enhancing health outcomes for senior residents.

Joining Dr. Carpenter in this discussion will be executives from the National Church Residences, including Angie Hoff, DNP, APRN, CNP, and Margaret Gibson, PT, MPT, who will provide their valuable insights on the collaboration's unique advantages. In light of the increasing complexity of care for seniors, the partnership aims to bolster resident health and safety in living arrangements.

Dr. Carpenter expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity, stating, "We’re excited to collaborate with National Church Residences for this relevant discussion. Together, we'll convey the impact that ACO partnerships can have on improving residents' health outcomes in senior living facilities."

The team at Sound Accountable Care aims to demystify their approach to incorporating telemedicine into their services while explaining how investing in healthcare technology aids both patients and providers. The organization emphasizes a mission centered around enabling healthcare partners to enhance care quality without compromising financial performance.
