CMS is anticipating having one new Appendix to the State Operations Manual that will be for all 17 provider types affected by the new rule and is preparing training for survey staff.
47 HOSPITAL PHARMACY CHANGES Hospital Pharmacy Quality Assurance Report (HPQAR) was initiated by Nebraska DHHS in Spring Initially based on the same report that pharmacies with a commercial license have to complete annually for the Department. Changes were made based on comments and reviews, the form revised AND will soon be interactive and can be filled out and completed online. Facilities need to submit plan with HPQAR for areas they are not in compliance with and will receive feedback on their reported information.
48 INSPECTION CHANGES - HOSPITAL PHARMACIES Expectation is facility is compliant with LB37, including USP 797 and 800. Pharmacist inspectors may accompany the health surveyors, or may inspect the hospital pharmacies independently. Survey staff received training by CMS on expectations. Pharmacy inspectors are also providing guidance. We are still in the learning process. Once we complete an inspection, the survey reports are sent to the Pharmacy inspectors for review. They could potentially identify additional issues or concerns.
49 QUESTIONS QUESTION: SHOULD PRIVILEGING BE BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE PROVIDER AND THE CAPABILITY OF THE HOSPITAL STAFF? ANSWER: Yes.please refer to previous slides and regulations.
50 QUESTION: IN REGARD TO CAH REGULATION C-0207, A PARCTITIONER WITH TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE IN EMERGENCY CARE ON CALL NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE VIA TELEPHONE/RADIO AND ONSITE IF NEEDED WITHIN 30 MINUTES/24 HOURS A DAY. DOES THIS APPLY TO BACK UP PHYSICIANS? ANSWER: Yes. A back up is expected to provide the same service in the same timeframe.
51 QUESTION: WHAT DO WE DO WHEN DECREASING LICENSED BEDS IN A FACILITY? ANSWER: Notify my office. We need a letter on facility letterhead along with a new Bed Count Form. You can those documents.
52 QUESTION: DEFINE ELOPEMENT. ANSWER: According to the Nebraska APS Act, elopement is considered neglect due to the lack of proper supervision. We currently do not have a specific definition of elopement in the hospital licensure regulations.
53 QUESTION: DEFINE ELOPEMENT. ANSWER: According to the Nebraska APS Act, elopement is considered neglect due to the lack of proper supervision. We currently do not have a specific definition of elopement in the hospital licensure regulations.
54 ELOPEMENT CONTINUED Typically we view elopement as a situation where a patient is not where they are expected to be and cannot be located this could also mean they are off of their usual unit (especially in the case of a behavioral health unit for example) OR it could mean they are outside the building and across the street. We expect the facility to follow their policies and procedures and we would evaluate each case. Reporting is required to meet the hospital licensure regulation requirements at 175 NAC and 175 NAC B.
55 QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PRIVILEGING IN A FACILITY. ANSWER: Refer to the previous slides and regulations.
56 QUESTION: WHAT IS THE UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ON THE MEDICARE OUTPATIENT OBSERVATION NOTICE (moon)? ANSWER: At this time it is still not out
57 QUESTION: REGARDING DANTROLENE SODIUM, HOW MANY VIALS DOES A FACILITY NEED? WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA DRILL? WHERE SHOULD THE VIALS BE LOCATED?
58 ANSWER: The facility needs to do a Risk Assessment to determine how many vials they should have on hand based on the patient population of the facility, the average weight of surgical patients, and the location needs of a facility (typically anywhere there are MH triggering anesthetics administered).
59 ANSWERS continued Malignant Hyperthermia Drills should meet the standards of practice set forth by Expired Dantrolene should be used for the practice drills.
60 QUESTION: OUR PHYSICIANS WANT TO TEXT ORDERS, WHAT DO THEY NEED TO DO TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. ANSWER: At this time CMS has not approved the texting of orders. They are currently working with The Joint Commission on possibly coming out with some guidance
61 QUESTION: WHERE CAN WE FIND THE LATEST REVISION OF THE CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION AND LIFE SAFETY CODE (FIRE) REGULATIONS? ANSWER: is the most up to date source. You can also go to but they aren t always as timely with regulation changes. I try to send them out to the Hospital Association when we get them from CMS.
62 QUESTION: WHAT DO FACILITIES NEED TO NOTIFY DHHS ABOUT? ANSWER: Notifications need to be made in accordance with 175 NAC 9 (Nebraska Hospital Licensure Regulations) the CPS/APS Act, and the Healthcare Facility Licensure Act.
63 QUESTION: WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR A PLAN OF CORRECTION/STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE? ANSWER: Per CMS, an acceptable Plan of Correction must contain the following elements: 1. The plan for correcting each specific deficiency cited; 2. The plan for improving the processes that led to the deficiency that was cited, including how the hospital is addressing improvements in systems to prevent the likelihood of recurrence of the deficient practice; 3. The procedure for implementing the POC for each deficiency cited; 4. A completion date for correction of each deficiency cited; 5. The monitoring and tracking procedures that will be implemented to ensure that the PoC is effective and that the specific deficiency(ies) cited remain corrected and in compliance with the regulatory requirements; and 6.

64 THINGS THAT ARE NEW AT DHHS. 2 of our surveyors retired so we are in the process of training 2 new surveyors Nancy Hauschild (LMNT) and Sue Griepenstroh (RN) so you will see them out and about.
