Psychosocial Harm: Assessment, Process, Practice and Survey (2-Part Series)
Since the 2016 implementation of CMS Requirements of Participation (RoP), there has been a growing emphasis among regulators related to “psychosocial harm and well-being” of long-term care residents. In October 2022, the revised Surveyor Guidance followed suit by adding several references to the psychosocial outcome severity guide to sections related to resident rights, quality of life, and others.
 
This series will review the Psychosocial Outcome Severity Guide, requirements that are impacted by this new survey focus, and the revised Surveyor Guidance. In addition, the series will revisit the psychosocial assessment (resources and process), review how it connects to care plan development, and provide recommendations and best practices related to care planning, documentation and staff training.
 
Program Date/Time:
May 22 and 23, 2024 (1:00pm to 2:30pm)
