Revised for Rev. 225 Issued 8-08-24!
This is the perfect course for RDNs and NDTRs who work with licensed nursing homes and post-acute care facilities!
The required reading for this course is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) State Operation Manual Appendix PP – Guidance to Surveyors for Long Term Care Facilities 08-08-24 revision. This document is 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 clarify and explain the intent of the regulations. All surveyors are required to use them to assess compliance with federal requirements. Deficiencies are cited for violations of the regulations, which are to be based on observations of the nursing home’s performance or practices. This course provides nutrition professionals that are employed in CMS-regulated skilled nursing facilities with a working knowledge of the regulations that govern those facilities. It also explains 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)
