Rolling with the Changes<br />
Denise Spihlman, MSW, LCSW, Outcome Services of <strong>Illinois</strong><br />
Track SS<br />
So many changes have happened in the past couple of years that have impacted social services in long term care. We<br />
need to “roll with the changes” and yet not lose sight of what is most important, which is our residents. This is so much<br />
more of a challenge now with all the requirements that must be met. This session will “highlight” these changes and look<br />
at how to keep our top priority--our residents--just that; our top priority.<br />

<strong>Health</strong>care systems are facing a new risk to their image, safety and budgets: bed bugs. The epidemic of bed bugs is<br />
spreading into our healthcare systems at a rapid rate. The dynamic environment of these facilities is the perfect grounds<br />
for the introduction of bed bugs. With educated staff, written protocols, and a proactive philosophy, healthcare facilities<br />
can be prepared to take the correct action for the inevitable bed bug introduction.<br />
