The “Roaring 20s” brings to mind jazz bands, flappers, bootleggers, gin joints, and raccoon coats. It was a decade of prosperity and dissipation for a nation emerging from the Great War and a devastating pandemic. The 1920s were years of profound social change and cultural conflict. For many Americans, the growth of cities and so-called “revolution in morals and manners” represented liberation from the nation’s Victorian past, but this cultural enlightenment clashed with a still deeply traditional heartland weary of outsiders and fearful of change.
Meanwhile, technology took its first great leap into everyday society. Radio broadcasting brought the outside world to communities long isolated and ossified by tradition; the decade ended with nearly half the nation’s households filled with sounds of modern civilization for the first time.
A century later, much has changed but more has stayed the same. The “war to end all wars” did no such thing, ideological extremism still pulls at the fabric of rational discourse, and we find ourselves emerging from another devastating pandemic. Yet for all the monumental issues shaping the modern zeitgeist, it’s another technology that promises/threatens to change the world in ways Marconi could not have dreamed.
“Roaring Reimbursement” examines Skilled Nursing through the lens of a nation, and a healthcare continuum, in transition. Governments must balance the Quality/Payment equation by solving for impossible variables. Investigations and oversight have ramped up to untenable levels as providers consider the possibilities of incorporating Artificial Intelligence into their management structure. Is the industry’s future fraught with economic malaise or new opportunities? In the 1920s, professionals took refuge from society at the Speakeasy. Today, the discussion starts at Skilled Nursing’s Speak-e-Z!

Probably the most recognizable symbol of the roaring 20s is the flapper. The iconic flapper dress represented social change, liberation from Victorian cultural restrictions, and professionalism. Fashion statements were in response to the newly adapted roles of women in the workplace and the voting booth. Still, change is difficult, and the new MDS 3.0 Item Sets v1.18.11 is just that. Abandon the restrictions of prior thought. Embrace the new era of MDS assessment, but do so with the right education!
During Prohibition, patrons were told to “speak easy” about secret bars and “bathtub gin,” lest they attract unwanted government attention. A century later, Skilled Nursing too often “distills” industry-wide problems down to “speakeasy” soundbites that do nothing to address its fractured economic model. ZHSG believes it’s time to “Speak Up” rather than “Speak Easy” about the systemic disfunction threatening a national “SNF Market Crash”!
The groundbreaking 1927 motion picture classic, “The Jazz Singer,” starring Al Jolson, was the first film featuring speech dialogue; the “Talkie” that effectively ended the silent-film era. Today’s “Reimbursement Talkies” features new payors and programs that may effectively end the SNF Fee-for-Service era. Reimbursement strategy must be reimagined to expertly “Arbitrage” risk using emerging technology, which itself brings its own challenges!
A new art form emerged during the “Roaring 20s.” Influenced by European modernist movements like Cubism, “Precisionism” focused on visual symbolism of industrialization and modernization themes across the American landscape. In retrospect, these precise, sharply defined geometrical characterizations can seem ossified and lifeless by modern standards. Have today’s healthcare regulators fallen into the same 1920s era philosophical sclerosis? How has their razor-sharp, yet distorted, perspectives on healthcare utilization impacted pandemic-era nursing facilities?
1920s laissez-faire economic philosophy, overproduction of goods and “buying on the margin” led to the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The government was pro-business and “hands-off” with financial institutions. Contrast that with today and you’re Tooting the Wrong Ringer! Government intervention in our nursing homes, both positive and negative, dominates our industry. Will this lead to a “SNF Market Crash”?
Come join our experts for breakfast roundtable discussions where you will have the opportunity to ask the questions you were always afraid to ask!
The continuing legacy of abysmal conditions of Almshouses were considered acceptable for some but not the “worthy poor.” As a result, old age homes emerged and were operated by religious and ethnic groups to care for the elderly. However the Depression era led to even worse conditions for the aged, and public outcry for reform, seeding the ground for government oversight and industrialization of the nursing home. Skilled Nursing Home of today are challenged to meet the increasing demands of the survey/certification process. New strategies are presented and “that’s the crop.”
