This is the perfect course for RDNs and NDTRs who work with nursing homes!
This course is based on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) State Operation Manual Appendix PP – Guidance to Surveyors for Long Term Care Facilities 11-22-17 revision, which is the document used for conducting nursing home surveys in accordance with survey protocols and Federal requirements to determine whether a citation of non-compliance is appropriate. The requirements for participation reflect the substantial advances that have been made over the past several years in the theory and practice of service delivery and safety.
The survey protocols and interpretive guidelines serve to clarify and/or explain the intent of the regulations. All surveyors are required to use them in assessing compliance with Federal requirements. Deficiencies are cited on violations of the regulations, which are to be based on observations of the nursing home’s performance or practices. This course provides RDNs and NDTRs employed in CMS-regulated skilled nursing facilities with a working knowledge of the regulations that govern those facilities. It also provides an understanding of what surveyors evaluate during the survey process and what deficiencies can result.
The course includes questions related to the following sections of the CMS State Operations Manual Appendix PP:
- Skin Integrity F686 (483.25 b)
- Assisted Nutrition and Hydration F 692 and 693 (483.25 g)
- Physician delegation of tasks to Dietitian/Therapist F715 (483.30)(e)(2)(3)
- Food and nutrition services F 800-811 (483.60)
