Last week, nearly 200 facility representatives participated in the Department of Public Health (DPH) webinar on the adjustments that are being made to the Nursing Home Survey Tool (or Nursing Home Report Card) that will begin in January 2018. DPH is updating the tool to account for changes to the federal regulations for nursing homes that were implemented on November 28, 2017.
These adjustments will ensure that the Tool continues to serve as a transparent quality measure and a functioning resource to consumers. This slide presentation, along with additional resources for nursing homes pertaining to the Long Term Care Survey Process, are available online at https://www.mass.gov/service-details/long-term-care-survey-process.
