BALTIMORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Real Time Medical Systems (Real Time), the industry-leading, KLAS Rated, HITRUST r2 Certified, and SOC 2 Compliant post-acute care analytics solution, announced today that founder and executive chairman, Scott Rifkin, MD, will participate in the educational agenda at LifeSpan Network 2026 Annual Conference & Expo, taking place September 22–25, 2026, in Ocean City, MD. Against a backdrop of shifting reimbursement models and growing accountability across long-term care, Dr. Rifkin will highlight how AI-enabled post-acute care analytics can help skilled nursing organizations quantify performance, validate their impact, and navigate an increasingly outcomes-focused environment. As a physician and longtime advocate for value-based care in post-acute settings, Dr. Rifkin brings decades of experience helping providers adapt to evolving industry demands.
As part of the conference’s educational agenda, Dr. Rifkin will present Thriving in Value-Based Care: A Strategic Guide for Skilled Nursing Facility Leaders, on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 4:15–5:15pm ET. The session will explore how providers can adapt to changing reimbursement models, align with value-based care expectations, and leverage live analytics to showcase results, strengthen relationships with hospitals and health plans while uncovering new opportunities for growth.
“The transition to value-based care represents one of the most significant shifts the post-acute industry has faced in decades,” said Dr. Rifkin. “Success increasingly depends on an organization’s ability to validate its contributions across the care continuum, establish trust with referral partners, and clearly differentiate itself in a rapidly changing market. Providers that embrace post-acute data transparency, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement will be best positioned to expand referral opportunities and sustain long-term growth.”
In addition to leading this session, Dr. Rifkin will moderate the conference keynote address featuring Maryland Governor Wes Moore, further reflecting his leadership and involvement in discussions shaping the future of long-term care. The keynote will explore Maryland’s vision for supporting a growing older adult population and the state’s transition to the AHEAD healthcare model, while highlighting the importance of collaboration between government leaders and long-term care providers to address workforce, reimbursement, and regulatory challenges.
Stop by Booth #34 to connect with the Real Time team and attend Dr. Rifkin’s session for a forward-looking discussion on value-based care and the factors influencing the future of skilled nursing.
