Gather your team & join in on this can't-miss, timely webinar! You & your team will:
- explore the components of the facility assessment and be offered a review of the regulations related to the facility assessment.
- learn about the facility assessment tool to help identify resource utilization in their facility.
- analyze the link between the facility assessment and the QAPI plan including regulatory requirements.
TELL ME MORE
One of the key elements of the Final Regulations is the new provision that requires facilities to conduct and document a facility-wide assessment to determine what resources are necessary to care for its residents competently during day-to-day operations and emergencies. The facility assessment must address the facility’s resident population (number of residents, types of care and staff competencies required by the residents and cultural aspects) and resources (equipment and overall personnel) and a facility-based and community-based risk assessment.
The facility-wide assessment and an initial QAPI plan are part of Phase 2 implementation due by November 28, 2017. The facility assessment and QAPI plan are interconnected. The facility assessment defines the services provided, needed staff competencies and staffing requirements. Failures in quality may be linked to and analyzed in relation to the facility assessment and the QAPI plan.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the completion of the presentation, attendees will:
- Identify the components of the facility assessment.
- Describe best practice guidelines for conducting the assessment.
- Discuss the relationship between the facility assessment and the QAPI plan.
- List resources available to facilities to assist with the facility assessment.
- Explain responses to frequently asked questions related to the facility assessment process.
