Judy Wilhide, a national expert on skilled nursing facilities and Medicare compliance, will provide you with the latest information about the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) nationwide expansion of Minimum Data Set (MDS) Focused Surveys from its pilot program last year. She will explain how the new survey process will be used in Virginia, its implications for your facility, and common citations cited in focused surveys.

During the program Ms. Wilhide will also provide you with an overview of the coding and rule changes in the most recent Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Manual update. In addition, you’ll learn more about the new required quality measures under the latest rule on Medicare payment rates for skilled nursing facilities as CMS shifts Medicare payments from volume to value.
