FEDERAL UPDATES
LEADINGAGE NATIONAL UPDATES
- New CMS Enforcement memo. Yesterdayevening, CMS put out a memo that includes survey activities, enhanced infection control related enforcement, and quality improvement activities in nursing homes. LeadingAge’s statement was released almost immediately, with Katie saying “today’s data are a grim reminder of a slow motion tragedy that could have been averted if our federal and state governments had stepped up to provide leadership, coordination and funds that nursing homes need to save lives.” CMS cited 60,000 infections and 26,000 deaths in nursing homes to justify increased civil monetary penalties for nursing homes with pattern of infection control deficiencies. CMS will begin posting the still incomplete data to Nursing Home Compare this Thursday and update it monthly.
