Needs Statement

The very existence of the CMP program highlights the fact that KY CNFs are deficient in education and practical solutions to address CMS deficiencies that lead to reduced quality of care for CNF resi-dents in KY. Reinforcement of the advanced training provided in the prior modules as well as a conceptual model for integration of the tools provided for the development of CMS Long Term Care Requirements for Providers “Best Practices”.

Awareness of CMS deficiencies and CMS Long Term Care Requirements for Providers “Best Practices” are often lacking among medical providers for KY CNFs. Identification and implementation of appropriate tools to address these deficiencies require reinforcement in this final training module.

Target Audience

This is for ALL Certified Nursing Facilities personnel in Kentucky.

Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:
1. Demonstrate an awareness of the top CMS healthcare deficiencies in KY CNFs.
2. Review CMS Long Term Care Requirements and how to implement “Best Practices” across all levels of CNF healthcare manage-ment and delivery consistent with changes in regulations and guidelines consistent with the 3 phases of CMS implementation.
3. Discuss appropriate use of the education and tools provided in this dementia series to address CNF-specific issues that have led to the creation of the CMP funds.
