AHCA Product of the Week – Strengthening Facility Assessments to Adapt to Regulatory Changes

On May 10, 2024, CMS released the “Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care (LTC) Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting.” One part of this rule was an expansion of the Facility Assessment Requirements. Effective August 8, 2024, facilities must comply with the updated requirements.  

The Strengthening Facility Assessments to Adapt to Regulatory Changes webinar provides facility leadership with the regulations, the CMS guidance, operational considerations, and examples of things facilities have done to implement the new requirements. The webinar also offers a question-and-answer section, along with common myths vsersus facts to assist facilities in fully understanding the updates to the Facility Assessment.
