RIP IJs A 3-PART LEADERSHIP WEBINAR SERIES
Special thanks to M3 Insurance for sponsoring our webinar series. 
Let’s bury the excuses—and the chaos that leads to Immediate Jeopardy.
RIP IJs is not your average compliance training. This is a bold, no-fluff webinar series for nursing home leaders who are ready to stop waiting for a crisis and start spotting the signs before the bang.
Each session peels back the layers on how IJ-level breakdowns really happen—from the breadcrumbs nobody followed, to the action plans that looked great on paper but never got traction.
We’ll show you:
🕵️♀️ How to recognize risk before it becomes reality
🧠 Why so many “investigations” miss the mark—and how to do better
⚰️ What needs to be buried for good: the habits, phrases, and false assumptions that keep teams stuck
🔍 How to sharpen your surveillance systems, team conversations, and leadership instincts
Who it's for:
• Directors of Nursing
• Administrators
• QA Nurses
• Interdisciplinary Team Members
• Anyone tired of hearing “Let’s educate and monitor” and hoping for the best
Webinar Series Objectives:
RECOGNIZE
- Help leaders and teams identify pre-event indicators that signal rising risk
- Increase awareness of staff hesitation, uncertainty, and vague language that often precedes IJ
- Strengthen leadership’s ability to detect unclear care plans, lack of follow-through, and subtle red flags
INVESTIGATE
- Teach teams to see the big picture, not just surface facts
- Equip leaders to ask sharper questions, probe deeper, and stay focused as they peel back layers
- Reinforce the value of layered investigations that uncover system flaws—not just individual missteps
PNC – PAST NON-COMPLIANCE
- Explore what it means to do the right thing after harm, with urgency, integrity, and transparency
- Shift from checkbox fixes to real accountability through smart follow-up
- Highlight the widespread harm potential when root causes are minimized or missed
- Promote creative audits and real-world testing to verify sustainable change
Let’s work together to lay IJs to rest—once and for all!
