The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final requirements of participation (ROPs) for long term care facilities October 4, 2016, with three implementation phases: Phase 1 requirements will be implemented on November 28, 2016, Phase 2 will be implemented on November 28, 2017 and Phase 3 will be implemented on November 28, 2019.
This webinar will provide an overview of the new ROPs, with an emphasis on the requirements that fall within Phase 1 implementation. Key points that we will cover include:
- What requirements are effective when?
- What policies and procedures do you need to revise and/or develop before November 28, 2016?
- How will surveyors cite deficiencies for the new ROPs during Phase 1?
Presented by Paula Sanders, Principal and Co-Chair, Health Care Practice Group for Post and Schell, attendees will receive one NHA credit.
