2024 HCAM Webinar: New CMS Guidance: Facility Assessment Requirements

Session Date: Monday, July 1, 2024

Session Time: 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

This program will be held live on Zoom and will be recorded and available on-demand with CE after July 2.

 

On June 18, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a new QSO Memo, “Revised Guidance for Long-Term Care Facility Assessment Requirements.” The QSO Memo sets out the new guidance for the Facility Assessment requirements – and an updated version of the State Operations Manual Appendix PP – effective August 8, 2024.

The intent of this regulation is to deeply understand your resident population and what you need to provide high quality care and services to them. Vickie Burlew, Nurse Consultant at Lebenbom & Rothman, PC, will join us on Monday, July 1 from 3-4:30 pm ET to provide an in-depth review of the new guidance and how to operationalize these changes in your building.

Learner Objectives:

  1.     Describe the team required to complete the facility assessment
  2.     Discuss processes to complete the components of the  assessment
  3.     Identify evidence-based data and practices that may be used to develop the assessment

Nurse Learner Outcome: 80% of the learners will self-report a knowledge gain in how to complete an assessment of the needs of the residents and staffing from a global view.
