9 Phase 2 Requirement: Facility Assessment 2018 Providigm, LLC 9
10 When I learned about the facility assessment, I can honestly say I was horrified. I wasn t sure how I was going to make that a meaningful document that we could build on.
11 The intent of the facility assessment is for the individual facility to evaluate its resident population and identify the resources needed to provide the necessary care and services the residents require.
12 How do I even start this?
13 Who should be involved? Facility Assessment Team At a minimum, include: The administrator, A representative of the governing body, The medical director, The director of nursing Also, consider other department heads, frontline staff, and seek input from residents and families
14 Sorry, this isn t something that corporate can do for you.
15 Facility Assessment Assessing Acuity and Diseases, Conditions, Disabilities Services Provided Determining Staffing Requirements Staff Competency Facility Resources, Equipment, Technology Emergency Preparedness Facility Assessment
16 QMs MDS Data Sources you may consider as you look at your facility s capabilities PBJ In-house reporting 802/672 (resident census and conditions)
17 Facility Assessment: Resident Population and Services Required
18 Facility Assessment Resident Population The facility assessment must address or include: Both the number of residents and the facility's resident capacity; The care required by the resident population that was in the facility in the last 6 months to 1 year types of diseases, conditions, physical and cognitive disabilities, overall acuity, and other pertinent facts that are present within that population; ethnic, cultural, or religious factors that may need to be considered to meet resident needs, such as activities, food preferences, and any other aspect of care identified. Consider the frequency at which you are treating each resident profile High frequency versus low frequency
19 Let s take a look at a sample resident population
20 Services Required List the types of care that your resident population requires and that you provide for your resident population. List by general categories, adding specifics as needed It is not expected that you quantify each care or practice in terms of the number of residents that need that care, or enter an aggregate of all resident care plans here The intent is to identify and reflect on resources needed to provide these types of care
21 Example Bowel and Bladder In the past year, our resident population analysis indicated that we had: 25 stays (14%) that required a urinary toileting program 26 stays (14.5%) that required a bowel toileting program Residents that required indwelling (5), external (16), and intermittent catheterization (21) Services provided might include: Bowel/bladder toileting programs, Incontinence prevention and care, Intermittent or indwelling or other urinary catheter, Ostomy, Responding to requests for assistance to the bathroom/toilet promptly in order to maintain continence and promote resident dignity
22 Facility Assessment: Staffing and Staff Competency
23 Staffing GUIDANCE (e) The regulation outlines that the individualized approach of the facility assessment is the foundation to determine staffing levels and competencies Therefore, the facility assessment must include an evaluation of the overall number of facility staff needed to ensure sufficient number of qualified staff are available to meet each resident s needs
24 Staff Type Who do you need in order to take care of your resident population? Identify the type of staff members, other health care professionals, and medical practitioners that are needed to provide support and care for residents You might refer to staffing records, your org chart, and/or to PBJ Don t forget about support staff, religious services, and volunteers
25 Staff Scheduling and Frequency How do you ensure that you have sufficient staff to provide these services? Describe your general staffing plan to ensure that you have sufficient staff to meet the needs of the residents at any given time Consider if and how the degree of fluctuation in the census and acuity levels impact staffing needs Take a look at the frequency that you are servicing each population profile And remember- this is not what you HAVE, but what you really think you NEED to adequately provide this service! The regulation provides MINIMUM staffing requirements
26 Example Bowel and Bladder BY STAFF TYPE Licensed Nurses providing direct care Full time DON One RN or LPN per shift 1:X LN per shift (Days, Evenings, Nights) Direct Care Staff 1:X Days 1:X Evenings 1:X Nights OR, BY HOURS PER RESIDENT DAY Total number of licensed nurse staff hours per resident per day RN hours per resident per day LPN/LVN hours per resident per day CNA hours per resident per day Then, look at Staff Assignment- how do you determine and review individual staff assignments for coordination and continuity of care for residents within and across these staff assignments?
27 Competency Defined DEFINITIONS (e) Competency is a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and other characteristics in performing that an individual needs to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully.
28 Nursing Staff Competency GUIDANCE (a)(3)-(4),(c) Competency in skills and techniques necessary to care for residents needs includes, but is not limited to, competencies in areas such as: Person-Centered Care Communication Basic Nursing Skills Basic Restorative Services Skin and Wound Management Medication and Pain Management Infection Control Resident Rights Identification of Changes in Condition Cultural Competency
29 Example Bowel and Bladder Care Competencies Licensure Basic Nursing Skills Identification different types of incontinence Communication Infection Control Dignity Use of Incontinent products and monitoring Identification of resident changes in condition Person-Centered Care Perineal Care Urinary Output measurement Resident Assessment and Examination Catheterization insertion/care devices
30 Demonstration of Competency GUIDANCE (a)(3)-(4),(c) Competency may not be demonstrated simply by documenting that staff attended a training, listened to a lecture, or watched a video. A staff s ability to use and integrate the knowledge and effective November 28, 2017 skills that were the subject of the training, lecture or video must be assessed and evaluated by staff already determined to be competent in these skill areas.
31 Demonstration of Competency GUIDANCE (a)(3)-(4),(c) Lecture with return demonstration for physical activities; A pre- and post-test for documentation issues; Demonstrated ability to use tools, devices, or equipment that were the subject of training and used to care for residents; Nursing leadership with input from the Medical Director should delineate the competencies.
32 Facility Assessment: Facility Resources
33 Facility Resources What physical resources do you need to provide care for your resident population? All buildings and/or other physical structures and vehicles; Equipment (medical and non-medical) Services provided, such as physical therapy, pharmacy, and specific rehabilitation therapies All personnel Contracts with third parties to provide services or equipment to the facility during both normal operations and emergencies Health information technology resources Your operating budget
34 Example Bowel and Bladder Physical Space Privacy Curtains Transportation? Medical Equipment and Supplies Liners/Pads/Guards/Briefs/Pullups Catheters Bladder Scanners Wipes Periwash Gloves Barrier Ointments Health IT EMR/MDS system QAPI System Data Analytics/MDS optimization Call Light System
35 Facility Assessment: All-Hazard Approach to Emergency Preparedness
36 Facility Assessment: Phase 2 (3) A facility-based and community-based risk assessment, utilizing an all-hazards approach, including missing residents Explosions/ Trauma Events Chemical Events Natural Events Services Biological Provided Events All Hazards Radiological Events
37 Hazard Vulnerability Assessments GUIDANCE (e) Hazard Vulnerability Assessments (HVAs) are systematic approaches to identifying hazards or risks that are most likely to have an impact on a healthcare facility and the surrounding community.
38 Hazard Vulnerability Assessment Tool
39 Review at least annually The facility must review and update this assessment annually or whenever there is/the facility plans for any change that would require a modification to any part of this assessment. It is not the intent that the organizational assessment is updated for every new person that moves into the nursing home, but rather for significant changes such as when the facility begins admitting residents that require substantially different care. However, I can tell you when I might review it again
40 So what do I do with this?
41 USE IT! The goal is to make decisions about needed resources, including direct care staff needs, as well as their capabilities to provide services to the residents in the facility.
42 USE IT! Resident Population Does your resident population analysis reflect the types of people you admit? Has it changed?
43 USE IT! Staffing types and levels Based on the staffing you said was necessary to care for your resident population, do you need to make any changes in staffing or scheduling? Consider resident and CNA input here! How well is the current staffing working? Yes, you should meet minimum standards, but if you need MORE than that, are you staffed appropriately? Look at QMs- how do you compare to the rest of the state?
44 USE IT! Staff Competencies Don t forget behavioral health Look at infection control it s pervasive CNA training Are people s job descriptions appropriate? Are these competencies reviewed annually in our review process? Are there any opportunities to more closely collaborate with medical professionals to enhance care?
45 USE IT! Physical Resources Do we have the space to provide the care we are advertising? Do we have the RIGHT equipment and supplies? Have we educated ourselves on innovations in these areas? Lean on your vendors. Have we talked with our medical suppliers about what will happen in an emergency? Are there IT solutions that you need to more adequately assess and care for the population that you serve?
46 USE IT! QAPI If there are any areas where you don t feel you have the appropriate services, staff, competencies, physical resources, utilize QAPI If you make a change, measure its success Are adjustments needed in your budget?
47 Look at what you said you needed. And if you don t have what you need to take care of your residents Create an action plan This could mean looking at who we admit This could mean adjusting resources But, if you have the capabilities to take care of your residents, you will see: Better outcomes Happier residents Happier staff AND THIS IS WHY YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS NOW INSTEAD OF WHEN THE GRACE PERIOD ENDS 2018 Providigm, LLC 47

50 Survey Procedures PROCEDURES (e) If systemic care concerns are identified that are related to the facility s planning, review the facility assessment to determine if these concerns were considered as part of the facility s assessment process. For example, if a facility recently started accepting bariatric residents, and concerns are identified related to providing bariatric services, did facility staff update its assessment before accepting residents with these needs to identify the necessary equipment, staffing, etc., needed to provide care that is effective and safe for the residents and staff?
51 Survey Questions Questions surveyors should consider include, but are not limited to, the following: Who was involved in conducting the facility assessment? How did the facility determine what equipment, supplies, and physical environment would be required to meet all resident needs? How did the facility develop its emergency plan? If a deficient practice is systemic and is observed at another tag, was this related to an incomplete facility assessment? How?
52 The Facility Assessment and Responsibility
53 Administration F-Tags

55 Governing Body DEFINITIONS (d) Governing body refers to individuals such as facility owner(s), Chief Executive Officer(s), or other individuals who are legally responsible to establish and implement policies regarding the management and operations of the facility. Certification/GuidanceforLawsAndRegulations/Downloads/Advance-Appendix-PP-Including-Phase-2-.pdf
56 Administration F835 PROCEDURES Cite this tag if the actions, inactions, or decisions in administering the facility contributed to deficient practice(s). The facility s administration is not limited to the administrator and may also include the facility s governing body, management company, and/or others identified by the facility as part of the facility administration.
