Greetings!
What’s happening: As of October 24, 2022, surveyors will be using the updated Phase 2 and Phase 3 CMS Requirements of Participation (ROP) guidance to identify skilled nursing facility (SNF) noncompliance.
Take another look at our F-Tag Focus messages to be ready for future surveys.
Go deeper:
-
Review the detailed AHCA summary of QSO-22-19-NH, which outlines revisions to the following:
- surveyor guidance for some Phase 2 and all Phase 3 Requirements of Participation;
- arbitration agreement requirements;
- investigating complaints & Facility Reported Incidents; and
- Psychosocial Outcome Severity Guide.
The bottom line: Make sure you are familiar with the changes and have updated your policies and procedures accordingly.
Sincerely,
