# Best reads of the week, 9/13

_2019-09-13 · Filed under [Blog](https://excelas1.com/blog/categories/blog)_

> Topics: PDPM, the economy, tattoo DNRs, and EHR-related claims.

Below are some of the most important, interesting, or instructive articles our team read this week. Enjoy!

### PAYMENT DRIVEN PATIENT MODEL

Some advice for SNFs transitioning to PDPM: “stop and think before implementing any significant changes to a given facility’s care offerings and specialty services.”

[How Skilled Nursing Operators Can Survive the New PDPM Compliance Landscape](https://skillednursingnews.com/2019/09/how-skilled-nursing-operators-can-survive-the-new-pdpm-compliance-landscape/)

### ECONOMY

Another signal that the labor market has shifted into low gear.

[Job Growth Has Been Much Less Impressive Than Reported](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/talent-acquisition/pages/job-growth-bls-downward-revision.aspx)

### ADVANCE DIRECTIVES

Unlike tattoos, DNR orders should not be a permanent commitment.

[DNR tattoos: Are they legal and is EMS bound to comply?](https://www.ems1.com/paramedic-chief/articles/dnr-tattoos-are-they-legal-and-is-ems-bound-to-comply-RE78PPdJlpo3zjUs/)

### EHR-RELATED CLAIMS

Copy/Pasting (also known as [cloning](/blog/cloning-in-ehr-can-lead-to-fraud-patient-harm)) is still cited as a top risk .
