State agencies responsible for the compliance and investigation of critical incidents are feeling the heat, and are interested in stepping up compliance and oversight excellence. But how?
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) recently issued an Early Alert directed at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and State Survey Agencies (SSAs) detailing disturbing findings of its ongoing review of abuse and neglect in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). This is just the latest in a trend of increasing audit and oversight attention related to abuse/neglect in long term care settings, including SNFs, group homes, community living arrangements, in-home personal assistance, and home health.
