The revised CMS surveyor guidance amplify the existing maze of notice requirements for discharges and transfers. Who gets a notice? When should it be delivered? Involuntary discharge situations affect skilled nursing facilities when residents, families and others are disruptive or abusive. Resident behavior and non-payment for a stay impacts the entire operations of post-acute care facilities and presents potentially dangerous and difficult environments for operators along with potentially significant economic considerations. CMS has announced a new initiative aimed at slowing the growing trend of illegal evictions of skilled nursing residents. Session will discuss key elements for discharges and transfers, as well as real-life strategies to improve your discharge and transfer practices.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the most common errors in the discharge process and how to avoid them.
Describe the requirements for valid resident discharge.
