Psychosocial Harm: Assessment, Process, Practice & Survey
Description:
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 (Appendix P) to sections related to resident rights, quality of life, and others. It should come as no surprise that, in the last five years, a growing number of facilities have received immediate jeopardy citations for psychosocial harm.
In this two-part series, Cat Selman will review the Psychosocial Outcome Severity Guide, requirements that are impacted by this new survey focus, and the revised Surveyor Guidance. In addition, Cat will revisit the psychsocial 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.
Join us to ensure that your team has the knowledge, skills, resources and training necessary to ensure the health and psychsocial well-being of residents in your care.
