The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the Reform of Requirements or Long-Term Care Facilities in 2016 with a three-part phased implementation.
Many of the regulations were effective during phase-one, which had an implementation date of November 28, 2016. The second phase of implementation will be effective November 28, 2017, and will include significant changes to long-term care facility practices such as the the completion of a Facility Assessment and development of a QAPI Plan.
Are you ready for the changes coming to long-term care?
In preparation for things to come, compliance expert, Paige Pennington, will be hosting our upcoming webinar, How to Implement the Reform of Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities. Paige is a great presenter, because of her experience in compliance and her unique approach.
As a member of Compliagent’s executive team, Paige is involved in the firm’s overall strategic planning and new product development. Paige applies her broad experience developing, implementing and auditing compliance programs for healthcare providers to oversee Compliagent’s operations. She’s well-versed in all aspects of regulatory issues integral to the operations of healthcare facilities and has a strong expertise in long-term care regulations, including HIPAA/HITECH, Medicare and state licensing requirements. She’s also super sensitive to the practical challenges of achieving a well-run compliance program.
Tune into our upcoming webinar, How to Implement the Reform of Requirements for Long Term-Care Facilities, where Paige will review the regulatory requirements for the Facility Assessment and QAPI Plan, discuss the interpretive guidance issued by CMS in June 2016, and give practical guidance for implementation of these two requirements by November 2017.
Enjoy!
