ICCS Founder Phenelle Segal, RN, CIC, FAPIC, will be presenting a webcast on common deficiencies during focused surveys of long-term care facilities as part of the Post-Acute NOW educational program.

Phenelle's program on "COVID-19 Focused Surveys: Common Deficiencies in Long-Term Care Facilities" is scheduled for April 15, 2021, from 1:30 PM ET - 2:15 PM ET. The session is described as follows:

Focused surveys generated by CMS through several State Department of Health Offices have been in progress since late 2020. Surveyors are visiting facilities and spending time reviewing multiple processes, including contact tracing, surveillance, isolation, use of PPE and more. While SNFs have been working diligently to remain compliant with nationally recognized guidelines and standards as well as state regulations, there are several pitfalls that have resulted in immediate jeopardy situations and other federal tags that create more demand and stress for an already strained sector of healthcare. In this session, participants will learn to:

• Recognize the most common deficiencies during focused surveys

• Identify the root cause of common deficiencies

• Recommend mitigation strategies to implement and maintain compliance

• Avoid survey pitfalls and successfully remain compliant.
