Falls Prevention: An Age-Friendly Collaborative Approach
Member $119 | Non-member $259
During this hands-on 4-hour workshop, pharmacists will engage with occupational and physical therapists in practical, application-based activities to strengthen their role in falls prevention using the 4Ms (Mobility) framework. Participants will practice conducting brief, standardized assessments of strength, gait, and balance to recognize fall risk and interpret results for clinical use.
Through guided role-play and discussion, pharmacists will refine patient interviewing and communication skills to identify individual risk factors and counsel patients on effective prevention strategies. They will work through realistic patient cases to perform medication reviews, identify drug-related fall risks, and develop tailored, evidence-based recommendations.
By integrating assessment findings, patient communication, and medication optimization, participants will build comprehensive falls prevention plans. The workshop will conclude with pharmacists identifying practical, actionable ways to incorporate fall risk screening, intervention, and collaboration into their everyday practice.
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Action: Optimizing Therapy for Older Adults
Member $149 | Non-member $289
During this interactive 4-hour workshop, pharmacists will engage in hands-on, case-based activities that strengthen their ability to integrate infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship into consultant practice. Participants will evaluate real-world scenarios to identify infection risks, transmission concerns, and medication-related contributors, then develop targeted, pharmacist-driven interventions.
Pharmacists will apply the 4Ms framework to balance infection management with resident-centered goals, considering mobility, mentation, medication safety, and what matters most to the individual. Through guided exercises, they will practice using stewardship tools such as antibiograms and the Antibiotic Use Toolkit to make informed, evidence-based recommendations.
Participants will also work through documentation, reporting, and regulatory scenarios to align their recommendations with CMS requirements and Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) expectations. Collaborative discussions will emphasize effective communication with interdisciplinary teams to support implementation of stewardship and infection prevention strategies.
By the end of the workshop, pharmacists will have developed practical, actionable approaches they can immediately use to enhance antimicrobial stewardship, strengthen infection prevention efforts, and improve outcomes for older adults in their care settings.

America’s long-term care pharmacies are “taxed” by PBMs and Payers and its well past time for rebellion. Aging adults are growing in numbers, taking more medications, and are challenged with aging in place at home and managing drug prices, the IRA and PBMs are squeezing margins, and vulnerable older adults and rural communities are being left behind. This is not another sleepy policy panel — this is the no-holds-barred war room where the future of long-term care pharmacy gets decided. In this high-voltage congress, you’ll get the unfiltered:
This is the one workshop where you won’t get empty declarations — you’ll get the bold strategies, the political intrigue and the united covenants that will separate the survivors from the fallen.
“If you’re still doing pharmacy the old way under the King’s yoke, this summit will either awaken your fighting spirit… or consign you to the dustbin of history.”
Target audience: Pharmacies, businesses, and industry partners.
