Trauma Informed Care:  CMS Survey Focus for 2024 

Do you need help teaching your staff to recognize and identify triggers for trauma? Are you on top of CMS expectations for utilizing non-pharmacological interventions? Does your team understand the "reasonable person" concept for determining psychosocial harm?  These are just a few of the areas of survey focus for 2024 for which you and your staff will be held responsible.

Trauma-informed care involves understanding, recognizing and responding to the effects of all types of trauma in residents, and incorporating knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies, procedures and practices to avoid re-traumatization. It encompasses approaches which are culturally-competent, account for experiences and preferences, and address the needs of trauma survivors by minimizing triggers and/or retraumatization.

In this two-part series, Cat Selman will present realistic, common-sense recommendations and guidance for facility practice and operational process.

  • Part I (April 3rd): This session covers the key changes that were made to F699 (Trauma-Informed Care) in the revised Surveyor Guidance including CMS expectations regarding identification/assessment; comprehensive care planning; and staff competencies.
  • Part II (April 4th): Minimizing triggers and/or re-traumatization is the responsibility of any person who provides care or services to individuals within your communiy, whether nurses, CNAs, dietary staff, laundry aides, housekeeping or volunteers. In this session, Cat will present a common-sense approach to educating staff and offer presentations, handouts, and recommendations to use in your staff trainings. Join us to ensure that your team has the knowledge and training necessary to be successful?
