Comliance and Survey Assistance

The first thing to know about skilled nursing and senior living facilities is that there are more rules and regulations than any other industry in the United States. We are caring for volerable adults, some with assets and CMS wants to ensure the rules are being followed. Understanding the rules of compliance is the first part of maintaning compliance. Health Core services works closely with CMS and state surveyors to ensure we are up on the latest rules and regulations and intepreting the rules and regulations correctly. The next step is auditing departments or the entire facility to ensure the facility is meeting compliance by following CMS guidelines. Health Core Services can help guide you through a lot of pitfalls that catch facilities off guard. We can conduct full audits of your systems and help make changes for better patient care, better staff engagments, better ratings, better resident satisfaction, and a better running facility. 

The survey process will tell you if you are in compliance with state administrative rules, codes and CMS rules and regulations. If you are in compliance when survey walks in whether it be for an anual or a comlaint compalint survey things go so much smoother. However, if you are not in compliance then things can get ugly really quickly. The first step to avoid these ugly situations is prepering for survey. Are you metting the QAPI requirements? Is your infection control process on point? Do you have a survey binder ready to hand to the surveyors when they walk in? ARE YOU READY FOR SURVEY? 

Health Core Services can help with mock surveys, policy analysis and updates, review of incident reports, help train staff for the survey process. There's a lot riding on your survey, don't leave them to chance. Check our pricing page to find out more and find a plan that works for you.
