Strengthening Facility Assessments to Adapt to Regulatory Changes
Facility assessments are mentioned, currently, more than 100 times in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) State Operations Manual (SOM) and F838 – Facility Assessment – specifically outlines facility assessment requirements. In May, CMS issued the Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care (LTC) final rule. The rule included expanded regulatory requirements for nursing facility assessment which are effective August 8, 2024.
This new on-demand webinar explains the regulations, the CMS guidance, operational considerations, and examples of what facilities have been used to implement the new requirements. The webinar also offers a question-and-answer section, along with common myths vs. facts to assist nursing facility leadership in fully understanding the regulatory updates to the Facility Assessment.

- Review the CMS Facility Assessment regulatory requirements and guidance
- Explore considerations for how to implement the regulatory requirements for the Facility Assessment
- Share real examples from facilities on approaches they have implemented to comply with different components of the Facility Assessment regulations
- Examine frequently asked questions and myths vs. facts regarding the Facility Assessment requirements
