Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has created many challenges and opportunities for long term care providers. Included in those changes are two new focus surveys.  

Nursing facilities may be subjected to focus surveys conducted as part of the CMS guidance and by CDC to affirm compliance with the CDC regulations. The CMS Focus Survey for COVID-19 will review a nursing facility’s compliance with multiple regulations including F-880 Infection Control and E-0024 Emergency Preparedness, as well as the new regulations at F-884 Reporting COVID-19 Infections to the CDC and F-885 Notification to Residents, Representatives, and Families. Assisted living facilities may be subject to review using the CDC focus survey.

During this session, Mary Chiles will review the processes related to both of these focus surveys including how providers can be best prepared for the focus review.
