11 Current Survey Processes vs. New Survey Process Information about the survey process and implementation can be found at: and-certification/guidanceforlawsandregulations/nursing- Homes.html Video on new survey process at: 13 Why is CMS Changing the LTC Survey Process? Two different survey processes existed to review for the Requirements of Participation (Traditional and QIS). Surveyors identified opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both survey processes. The two processes appeared to identify slightly different quality of care/quality of life issues. CMS set out to build on the best of both the Traditional and QIS processes to establish a single nationwide survey process. 14 FH62 - Developed by Polaris Group Page 10 of 118

12 Goals of New Process Same survey for entire country Strengths from Traditional & QIS New innovative approaches Effective and efficient Resident-centered Process is computer software-based Survey process and software are in testing and development and validation Balance between structure and surveyor autonomy FH62 - Developed by Polaris Group Page 11 of 118
