Following its November 12 release of guidance for nursinghome visitation during the COVID-19 pandemic, CMS released three versions of frequently asked questions (FAQs) clarifying the guidance. The early January FAQs also discouraged large gatherings (within nursinghomes) in which physical distancing cannot be maintained.
CMS has increased oversight of nursinghomes and per instance fines for poor-performing facilities from $21,000 to $1,000,000,” said Trish Richardson, MSN, BSBA, RN, NE-BC, CMSRN, Director of Post-Acute Care Solutions at Relias and President-elect of the North Carolina Nurses Association.
“With more care shifting to home health, providers are able to save time and money by answering patient questions from afar and limiting exposure by avoiding coming into a hospital or other care settings.”. Increased scrutiny of nursinghomes. Penalties rise to $1M. New minimum staffing requirements. Competitive compensation.
