On May 10, 2024, CMS released the "Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care (LTC) Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting". One part of this rule was an expansion of the Facility Assessment Requirements. Effective August 8, 2024, facilities must comply with the updated requirements.
AHCA recently developed the facility assessment checklist to assist skilled nursing facilities in preparing to meet the new requirements of the facility assessment. The new checklist outlines all the regulatory requirements that must be included in the facility assessment as stated in the rule. Registration is free for AHCA/NCAL Members.
