What You Will Learn • Long-term care is heavily regulated because.docxeubanksnefen
What You Will Learn • Long-term care is heavily regulated because the government is a major payer and the recipients of services are among the most vulnerable. • The Nursing Home Reform Act continues to play a major role in regulatory oversight by enforcing substantial compliance with the Requirements of Participation through the survey and enforcement process. • Interpretive Guidelines clarify and explain each standard in detail. Although the guidelines provide directions to personnel conducting surveys, they also assist nursing home personnel in understanding what practices they must implement to comply with each standard. • The traditional survey is being phased out and replaced with the computer-based Quality Indicator Survey. • The seriousness of each deficiency is indicated by its severity and scope. Remedies, such as civil monetary penalties, are based on the seriousness of the deficiencies. • An acceptable plan of correction must address five elements for each deficiency cited. • Compliance with the Requirements of Participation incorporates compliance with the Life Safety Code®. Administrators must become thoroughly familiar with the Requirements of Participation and the main requirements of the Life Safety Code®. • Nursing homes are required to comply with the accessibility standards for the disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act. • Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, OSHA is responsible for ensuring the safety and health of nursing home employees. Nursing homes are legally required to comply with OSHA standards and recordkeeping rules. Introduction The health care sector has been the object of numerous regulations, for two main reasons: (1) The government is a major payer for individuals receiving health care services under Medicare, Medicaid, and other public programs. By committing a significant amount of tax dollars to the delivery of health care, the government retains a vested interest in how the money is spent by private organizations that deliver health care. (2) Health care in general, and long-term care in particular, provide services to the frailest and most vulnerable individuals in society. Many of them are physically and/or mentally incapacitated and have no one else to act on their behalf. The regulatory system is deemed obligated to protect vulnerable populations against negligence and abuse, to ensure that they receive needed services for which they are eligible, and to ensure that the services provided meet at least certain defined minimum standards of quality. Administrative agencies have the power to enforce the rules and regulations that they formulate. The most important federal agency regulating nursing facilities certified as skilled nursing facilities (SNF) or nursing facilities (NF) is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), an administrative agency under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The U.S. Department of Justice enforces comp.
