32 DEMENTIA FOCUS SURVEYS 2015 FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 32
33 Pilot Surveys 2014 Began in 2012 when CMS initiated a partnership to improve dementia care Primary goal at that time was the reduction of medication, mainly antipsychotic drugs In addition, 2 new quality measures in relation to drug use were added 5 states conducted FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 33
34 Results 1 The dementia care focused survey was a positive and valuable learning experience 2 Many surveyors identified learning needs related to enforcement (e.g., scope and severity), basic dementia care practices and prescribing practices. A number of surveyors wanted more preparation /training related to the focused survey and process 2015 FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 34
35 Results 3. survey in its present form is timeintensive but yields valuable information that enabled the surveyors to better identify and cite deficient practice when compared to the standard annual or complaint surveys. 4 there is a need for a more detailed/focused survey..to be able to identify and cite deficient dementia care and psychoactive medication prescribing practices 2015 FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 35
36 Results 5 Some opportunities exist to shorten the current focused survey worksheets and process without losing the ability to cite dementia care and related practices effectively 6 The majority of surveyors believe that a more detailed evaluation of dementia care practices.should be integrated into the annual survey process FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 36
37 Results 80% cited either F309 or F329 55% cited both tags Other tags cited were F520 and F FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 37
38 Results Total of 68 deficiencies cited 4 were at the G level Deficient practices were identified shortly after a standard a survey team cited no deficiencies related to dementia care 2015 FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 38
39 Conclusions Additional assessment of the survey and enforcement process around dementia care would be useful Participation will be voluntary Surveyors will utilize a standard tool Stand-alone focus surveyors will have 3-4 staff members on site for days The focus survey may be extended and/or converted to a complaint survey 2015 FR&R Healthcare Consulting, Inc. 39
