GUEST: Glenn Blacklock, NHA, Action Pact Consultant

If you don't have time to read the 403-page document, tune in to this broadcast. You'll not only get the highlights, but also be able to contribute ideas about what to give comment on. Comments due Sept. 14, 2015

Glenn Blacklock, an innovative NHA and culture change consultant, along with hostess Carmen Bowman, former CMS Policy Analyst, surveyor and culture change consultant, will share ideas regarding CMS proposed changes. They will also discuss ideas to encourage CMS to consider: in the realm of culture change practices, and especially more dignified/less institutional language throughout the regulations. After briefly mentioning being familiar with culture change, CMS states, “While CMS is engaged in the issues around long stay nursing home residents, we do not have enough verifiable information to propose specific changes to the regulations specifically applicable to long-stay situations at this time. We solicit comments on how the requirements could acknowledge the special needs of the long stay resident. In addition, because we also received comments regarding the need to specifically address the needs of short stay residents, we solicit comments on how the requirements could acknowledge the special needs of short stay residents."
