Watch out: The new nursing home survey will turn the traditional approach on its head.
For years, nursing home providers have been clamoring for a survey process that is more consistent, accurate and focused on true quality concerns nationwide. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' new Quality Indicator Survey (QIS) aims to do that and more. But will providers find the new process is more than they bargained for, or will it truly improve a survey system that many view as broken?
Make sure you're in the know: Find out how the QIS will change the survey as you have always known it. In this 1-hour audioconference, industry expert Jo Walters will walk you through the QIS, which is now in a national implementation phase. Nail down the nuts and bolts of the QIS' data-driven approach, how the minimum data set figures into the picture -- and what you can do now to prepare for what's coming down the survey pike.
Here’s a sampling of the details you’ll learn:
- 4 Goals of the QIS -- is it really more objective?
- How the new survey works from start to finish.
- The QIS will focus on facilities with major quality concerns. Will your facility be one of them?
- Key processes and tools surveyors will use in the QIS. Good news: You can access them now.
- 60% of facilities received more F tags under the QIS: Find out what surveyors targeted the most!
