Post-Acute NOW | COVID-19 Focused Surveys - Common Deficiencies in Long Term Care Facilities
Time: 1:30 PM ET
Speakers: Phenelle Segal, RN, CIC, FAPIC, President and Founder, Infection Control Consulting Services
Focused surveys generated by CMS through several State Department of Health Offices have been in progress since late 2020. Surveyors are visiting facilities and spending time reviewing multiple processes, including contact tracing, surveillance, isolation, use of PPE and more. While SNFs have been working diligently to remain compliant with nationally recognized guidelines and standards as well as state regulations, there are several pitfalls that have resulted in immediate jeopardy situations and other federal tags that create more demand and stress for an already strained sector of healthcare.
In this session, participants will learn how to avoid survey pitfalls and successfully remain compliant. Post-Acute NOW | Closing Keynote - A Renewed, Fundamental Approach to LTC Infection Prevention; Lessons Learned
