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.
