NOTE: This is the rescheduled webinar from December 15
The new Requirements of Participation for Nursing Homes represent the greatest change in practice & care delivery since the revised rules of 1991. The final version of the CMS Requirements of Participation was released on October 4, with Phase I of implementation taking effect on November 28, 2016. The rule incorporates significant changes affecting operations across multiple departments in any Medicare facility. Join us for Part 4 of the Deep Dive Series to understand compliance requirements and best practices for developing an Infection Prevention & Control Program including an Antibiotic Stewardship Program and designation of at least one Infection Preventionist.
What's happening?
Part 4 of the Deep Dive Series focuses on the requirements for an Infection Prevention & Control Program, with a focus on best practices for implementation and available resources to assist communities.
What does this mean for my organization?
From a clinical standpoint, effective infection control is a requirement of quality care. From a regulatory standpoint, CMS has included requirements for development of an effective infection control program in all facilities, with implementation deadlines throughout the three phases. This webinar will provide you with information to help you get ahead of the curve and prepare for the future.
