Certification NFs must indicate they can meet the individuals needs identified on the PE This indication is completed on the PL1 after a positive PE has been submitted An enhancement was developed to send two alerts to the NF to remind them to compete the certification requirement 4
Didn t Certify? What happens if you don t certify on the PL1 Section D part N? PASRR Quality Monitoring staff runs reports showing cases where section D part N is blank on positive PASRR cases. Survey staff may cite facilities who have not completed the required certification. 5
Didn t Certify or Admit? What happens if you don t certify you can meet the needs or admit the individual on the PL1 section D parts N and O? When the PL1 was submitted as a Preadmission type of admission, the NF accepting the individual must complete both sections D parts N and O. 6
Didn t Certify or Admit Continued Facilities may be cited for failure to certify. After 90 days, if section D parts N and O have not been completed, the status of the PL1 will change to NF Placement Exhausted. When this happens, the NF will not be able to submit requests for services using the NFSS process. The PL1, PE and IDT will have to be completed again. 7
How do I certify/admit? TMHP shows buttons on the yellow toolbar for the PL1. When a positive PE has been submitted the Able to Serve and Unable to Serve buttons will be available. The NF should click on the appropriate button. If Able to Serve is selected the Admitted selection will be available to allow you to enter a date in Section D part O. 8
