Description

Accessible and user-friendly, this updated edition contains information that is essential for nursing home administrators as well as educators and professionals preparing for licensure. It presents the latest federal guidelines (more than 25 per cent of the federal guidelines have been modified in the past two years) and the procedures used by federal surveyors in certifying facilities for participation in Medicare and Medicaid. It is the only text that provides a comprehensive index to nursing home federal requirements. The volume spans every aspect and service of a nursing home, from telephone access and comfortable lighting to urinary incontinence treatment and proper drug storage. Administrators who implement these regulations will ensure outstanding quality assurance and risk management programs are in place. The following topics have been added to the sixth edition: updated Definitions of Medicare and Medicaid; compliance Requirements With Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; SNF/Hospice Requirements When SNF serves Hospice Patients; SNF-Based Home Health Agencies; Life Safety Code Requirements effective March 10, 2006; definitions of Certified Beds, Dually-Participating and Distinct Parts; changes in SNF Provider Status; Surveyor Qualifications Standards; and management of complaints and incidents.
