Risk, Response, and Resolution: Handling Imminent Jeopardy Citation in Long-Term Care
Join us for an in-depth session designed to help long-term care professionals navigate the complexities of Imminent Jeopardy Citations. In this training, we'll explore the critical aspects of these citations, from statutory and regulatory requirements to the surveyor determination process and appeals. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of:
- What the statutes and regulations say about Imminent Jeopardy Citations.
- How surveyors make determinations and how these can change based on Quality, Safety & Oversight (QSO) guidance.
- The importance of rapid removal of the problem and effectively addressing the situation at hand.
- The different types of penalties associated with these citations.
- The appeals process: what it entails and the facility’s ability to overturn citations.
- Upcoming CMS changes and what they mean for facilities.
Equip yourself with the knowledge and strategies you need to handle these challenging situations and protect your facility’s standing. This session is essential for administrators, directors of nursing, and all key long-term care stakeholders.
