This presentation was developed to assist caregivers in focusing on each resident’s right to be free of abuse and neglect.
Per CMS, abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Abuse also includes the deprivation by an individual, including a caretaker, of goods or services that are necessary to attain or maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Instances of abuse of all residents, irrespective of any mental or physical condition, cause physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. It includes verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse including abuse facilitated or enabled through the use of technology. Willful, as used in this definition of abuse, means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm. This presentation was developed to assist caregivers in focusing on each resident’s right to be free of abuse and neglect.

Since the Public Health Emergency began in March 2020, long-term care facilities have been faced with ever-changing regulations and guidance from CMS and CDC. By the end of March 2020, Focused Infection Control surveys were frequent for many facilities, many times during outbreaks of COVID-19. CMS has made multiple changes in the survey protocols for infection control in long-term care facilities since the initial focused surveys were initiated in March 2020. This session will discuss the revised Long Term Care Survey Process (LTCSP) updated 1/27/2022, review and prepare for survey entrance document preparation related to Infection control policies and vaccination, and review F tag 888: COVID-19 Vaccination of Facility Staff.
Since the Public Health Emergency began in March 2020, long-term care facilities have been faced with ever-changing regulations and guidance from CMS and CDC. By the end of March 2020, Focused Infection Control surveys were frequent for many facilities, many times during outbreaks of COVID-19. CMS has made multiple changes in the survey protocols for infection control in long-term care facilities since the initial focused surveys were initiated in March 2020.
CMS states they remain committed to taking critical steps to protect vulnerable Americans and to ensure the nation’s health care facilities are prepared to respond to the Coronavirus Disease 2019. In November 2021 CMS announced steps to assist State Survey Agencies in addressing the backlog of complaint and recertification surveys. The critical element pathway was revised again and was incorporated in the recertification and complaint survey process. CMS is increasing oversight in nursing homes to allow a more focused review of quality-of-life and quality-of-care concerns.
On November 5, 2021, CMS published an Interim Final Rule, entitled “Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Omnibus COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination,” revising the infection control requirements that most Medicare and Medicaid certified providers and suppliers must meet to continue to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In February 2022, CMS revised the survey protocols and trained surveyors for the revised survey process to include the monitoring of vaccination efforts.
Objectives:
- Define what constitutes “abuse”
- Define three types of abuse
- Describe steps taken if abuse is suspected

This program will focus on key aspects of active shooter and what to do if your community experiences a threat or real-life active shooter event.
Most of us think we work in a home that “would never” have an active shooter event. Unfortunately – it happens... and active shooter training is a mandatory part of disaster preparation. Even if your home has a “lock down” protocol, it may not be effective. Think about your facility and which doors are unlocked and if there are (major) issues increasing risk of someone entering the facility unannounced, your team unaware. A lot of communities want to keep active shooter training under cover and not share information about Active Shooter Event planning. It is critical that this discussion and the planning for Active Shooter Disaster be clear and open. This may be the only opportunity you have to prepare your staff and decrease the risk of a negative outcome in the event of an active shooter.
This program will focus on key aspects of active shooter and what to do if your community experiences a threat or real-life active shooter event. Who will you call? Who will you notify? How will you deploy your staff and use additional resources? What are the keys to protecting your residents and staff? How do work, in advance, with local law enforcement? Let’s talk about that! Please join us!
Objectives:
• Define an active shooter event;
• Identify strategies to protect your residents and staff;
• Discuss the importance of open lines of communication with first responders
• Discuss media interaction/communication;
• Identify methods to establish response and recovery post-event;Attendees will be awarded 1.0 ANCC contact hours for completing the course/webinar.

On July 18, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule (42 C.F.R. § 483 (2019)) that repealed the prohibition of long-term care facilities’ use of pre-dispute arbitration agreements. After much discussion, and challenges on CMS’s authority to enforce, on June 29, 2022, CMS issued revised Surveyor Guidance related to arbitration agreements that you should be aware of. Although much of the guidance may seem subtle or minor, arbitration agreements continue to be an important part of the admission process and have proven to be helpful in defending liability claims.
State and Federal survey agencies are being trained to perform record reviews, focusing on the legality of signatures, denying admission based on the resident refusing to sign an arbitration agreement, and whether the resident is presented with a 30-day opt-out option once signed. Surveyors are also being given an extensive list of questions to use when interviewing residents, representatives, etc. on how well the arbitration process and key terms were explained to them prior to asking them to sign. Additionally, there are now a few federal F tag citations that may be cited in the event a facility is not able to show that arbitration agreements are being explained appropriately and signed by a legally authorized individual. This webinar was developed in response to an overwhelming request for clarification and assistance from members across the country.
Objectives:
- Define binding arbitration agreement
- Discuss CMS’s authority to enforce
- Identify the federal F-tags arbitration agreements may impact
- Discuss best practice for implementing arbitration agreements
- Define the basic elements of a valid arbitration agreement

Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries may expose workers to bloodborne pathogens. This one-hour program was developed to assist you in identifying the ways disease can be transmitted through body fluids, while identifying ways to provide protection to you, the caregiver. The program will discuss personal protection equipment and standard precautions as they related to your work environment. At the completion of this session, post-test and evaluation, one contact hour for licensed nurses will be awarded through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and licensed Administrators will receive 0.75 CEU through the National Administrator Board (NAB).

Dementia disease is a progressive decline in cognitive function with memory loss. There are many types of dementia including HIV, vascular, Lewy Body, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, etc. Most are irreversible however when dementia is caused by thyroid disorders, drug interactions, or dehydration, the symptoms may be reversible or treatable. Many families are unaware of their loved one's decline until the disease process has progressed significantly and the person is no longer safe. Some of this is denial and other times it is just a difficult thing to discuss with a parent or grandparent. No one will admit they have memory loss if they don’t have to as it is something that has a stigma attached to it! This program was developed to assist you the caregiver in providing quality care to your residents with cognitive impairment while maintaining a safe, comfortable environment.

With the increasing rate of obesity, it is important to maintain the dignity of the resident. Obesity has increased from 14.4% to 30.9% from 1976 to 2000. Studies show that bariatric disease and its impact on one’s mobility and quality of life can cause bias, discrimination and social stigmas. There is clear, consistent evidence that individuals with obesity experience discrimination in family, social, education, and employment settings. Even the most compassionate caregiver may be reluctant to provide adequate care because of the threat of caregiver injury. The fear of injury is realistic and combined with the failure to provide satisfactory care to a complex resident, further the perpetuation of discrimination toward the obese resident.
