All residents must be screened before identifying the 8 per surveyor that will be included in the initial pool
38
39
Initial Pool Process
If the survey team arrives during off hours, the initial pool process will be slightly different Accommodations should be made based on resident activities Observations and screening will be done for those residents who are available If other tasks are appropriate, they will be started
This process requires the surveyors to be on the unit with residents
2/28/2018

Observation by all surveyors of the first full scheduled meal since entrance Must start at the beginning of the meal All dining rooms All room trays
Include those in the initial pool with weight loss, nutritional and/or hydration concerns If an issue is identified, must observe more residents
Initial Pool Process
41
Initial Pool Process
The initial pool includes residents from the surveyor’s assigned area who are Offsite selected residents Complaint/facility reported incident (FRI) residents (a limit of 5 in total) Vulnerable residents New admissions within the last 30 days Others with concerns
Residents will be interviewed and observed differently depending on their subcategory
42
Initial Pool Process
There are several options on how to conduct the screening, interviews and observations The surveyor may choose whatever way they are more comfortable
Directions are clear: go room to room without staff

48
Initial Pool Process: Conduct a Full interview on Interviewable Residents
Even if the care area doesn’t apply, each item must be reviewed and have a response Although the questions may be asked in any manner comfortable for the surveyor, the intent must be maintained If the MDS must be viewed to identify a discrepancy, it can be done at any time during the process, but it must be confirmed or denied prior to the exit
2/28/2018
17
49
Initial Pool Process: Conduct a Full interview for Non‐Interviewable Residents
The interview for resident’s representative has the same questions as the one for residents with one additional question: notification of change These interviews should be conducted on the first day
50
Initial Pool Process: Conduct a Full Resident Observation
Based on information input to the computer, areas are identified for further observation with probes being listed Rounds must continue with observations to answer all of the care area items

2/28/2018
19
55
Initial Pool Process: Limited Record Review
Care area probes look at many of the same areas identified on the interviews and observations Different areas are reviewed based on resident specific circumstances For all residents observed, the record review must be done to confirm the use of high risk medications and PASSAR if they are indicated
Insulin Anticoagulant
PASARR
Antipsychotic with Alzheimer's or dementia
56
Initial Pool Process: Limited Record Review
Different areas are reviewed based on resident specific circumstances continued For any resident marked non‐Interviewable, out of the facility, or unavailable, a record review must be conducted whether the following indicators were identified or not
Pressure ulcers Dialysis Respiratory infection Urinary tract infection Other infections Nutrition
Falls ADL decline Low risk B&B Hospitalization Elopement Change in condition
57
Initial Pool Process: Limited Record Review

20
58
Initial Pool Process: Limited Record Review
Document findings Limited time should be spent on the record review
59
Initial Pool Process: End of Day 1 Team Meeting
The computer program includes a “Team Meeting” screen that lists items that must be discussed Should only be 15‐30 minutes Basically the survey team is guided through questions: their responses are entered into the computer to keep the information updated If substandard quality of care is suspected, the sample must be expanded to either rule it out or determine the scope
60
Initial Pool Process: Daily Data Sharing
All surveyors share their data at the end of each day via the computer TC accesses information and shares with the team
2/28/2018
21
61
4. Sample Selection
The team meets and discusses all potential sample residents – about 1 hour‐ to select the sample Those in the actual sample will have a full blown investigation for any area of concern that was noted and marked for investigation If there are residents with concerns that are not in the actual sample, those concerns will still be investigated through others in the sample If there is no other resident with the concern, include that resident in the sample
62
Sample Selection
Total number in the sample does not include discharged or closed records, only active resident Those identified through the initial pool process Those identified during rounds and review
Must include any resident with An abuse concern Potential harm Transmission based precautions All other care areas of concern Up to 5 complaints or FRI residents
63
Sample Selection
Software program will ensure that all areas are represented It will select 5 residents for a full medication review of unnecessary medications: may or may not be in the sample Will indicate which facility tasks are triggered and require investigation Environment Personal funds Resident assessments

22
64
Sample Selection
Software program will ensure that all are areas are represented continued Ensures that the correct number of resident are in the sample, based on census information Indicates what areas of care are to be investigated Team discusses concerns for each resident chosen and is mandated to refer to the Sufficient and Competent Nurse Staffing task to determine if any of the concerns indicate staffing issues
65
Sample Selection ‐Sufficient and Competent Nurse Staffing
Was updated in November 2017 Although every surveyor observes for compliance, at the end of the day, when the team meets and discusses the days observations and concerns, the one assigned to this task determines whether any further investigation is warranted
66
Sufficient and Competent Nurse Staffing
Survey team is asked whether observations, interviews, or resident record reviews conducted during the initial pool process and via general oversight suggested staffing issues might lead to negative outcomes Observations Offensive odors Residents in bed and not dressed after 9am Slow response time to call lights No staff interaction with residents Unsupervised wanderers

Accident Hazards Pathway for all CEs Interviews Resident, resident representative or family interview asks questions related to all items on the pathway Nurse Aides are asked their knowledge of the resident's care and circumstances around the accident Therapy/Restorative nursing personnel are asked about the interventions, their implementation, and response to the accident
140
Example
Accident Hazards Pathway for all CEs Interviews continued Nurses are asked about resident care, risk factors, specifics about the incident Social Service personnel are questioned about behaviors and care planning to manage the concerns
Record review of all notes to determine Whether risks were identified Whether the risks were properly managed Investigation of the incident
141
Example
Critical Element Decisions1) Based on observation, interviews, and record
review, did the facility ensure the resident’s environment is free from accident hazards and each resident receives adequate supervision to prevent accidents? If No, cite F689
2/28/2018
48
142
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued2) Based on observations, interviews, and record
review, did the facility assess each resident for risk of entrapment and only use bed rails after trying other alternatives and explaining the risks and benefits to the resident or the resident’s representative? If No, cite F700NA, bed rails were not investigated.
143
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued
3) Based on observations, interviews, and record review, did the facility appropriately install and inspect the bed rails, use compatible bed mattresses, bed rails and frames, and identify any risks of entrapment?If No, cite F909NA, bed rails were not investigated
144
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued4) For newly admitted residents and if applicable
based on the concern under investigation, did the facility develop and implement a baseline care plan the care within 48 hours of admission that included the minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for the immediate needs of the resident? Did the resident or resident representative receive and understand the baseline care plan?If No, cite F655
2/28/2018

145
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued5) If the condition or risks were present at the time
of the required comprehensive assessment, did the facility comprehensively assess the resident’s physical, mental, and psychosocial needs to identify the risks and/or to determine underlying causes, to the extent possible, and the impact upon the resident’s function, mood, and cognition?If No, cite F636
146
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued6) If there was a significant change in the resident’s
status, did the facility complete a significant change assessment within 14 days of determining the status change was significant?If No, cite F637
147
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued7) Did staff who have the skills and qualifications to
assess relevant care areas and who are knowledgeable about the resident's status, needs, strengths and areas of decline, accurately complete the resident assessment (i.e., comprehensive, quarterly, significant change in status)? If No, cite F641

148
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued8) Did the facility develop and implement a
comprehensive person‐centered care plan that includes measureable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident’s medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs and includes the resident’s goals, desired outcomes, and preferences? If No, cite F656NA, the comprehensive assessment was not completed.
149
Example
Critical Element Decisions continued9) Did the facility reassess the effectiveness of the
interventions and review and revise the resident’s care plan (with input from the resident or resident representative, to the extent possible), if necessary to meet the resident’s needs?If No, cite F657NA, the comprehensive assessment was not completed OR the care plan was not developed OR the care plan did not have to be revised.

Investigative Protocol Bed/Side Rails
Protocol has many elements quite similar to the critical element pathway Once the assessment, care plan, and orders are reviewed, with interventions identified, observations will be made, with interviews and record reviews conducted to corroborate what was observed
155
Investigative Protocol Bed/Side Rails
Protocol has many elements quite similar to the critical element pathway continued
A resident may have a device in place that the facility has stated can be removed by the resident. For safety reasons, do not request that the resident remove the bed rails, but rather request that staff ask the resident to demonstrate how he/she releases the bed rails Must answer what medical need is met by using the bed rail

IDPH on the New Survey Process
Since this is a new process, there is a learning curve for both the provider and surveyors Surveyors will explain the process to providers as they conduct the survey The use of laptops and tablets makes this a slower process than before Although regulations regarding complaints are new, the survey is conducted as in the past
162
IDPH on the New Survey Process
Surveyor have been instructed to Not hold facilities responsible for issues prior to 11‐28‐17 with the new regulations and survey process Communicate with staff concerns related to resident care, not staff management (staff is to notify management of the issues raised) Focus on quality of care and quality of life for the resident
2/28/2018
55
163
IDPH on the New Survey Process
Medication Pass Various surveyors will conduct random observations rather than just one person doing them all There is a higher medication error rate noted with the new process
The in‐depth med review, whose residents are chosen by the computer from MDS data, still concentrates on psychotropic and anti‐psychotic medications Emergency preparedness is evaluated during the annual survey
164
IDPH on the New Survey Process
Exit conference will only relate the areas of concerns, not the tag numbers Tag numbers will be on the 2567 If the facility requests the potential tag numbers, the surveyors will tell them
Roster key and other key Resident key will be included with the 2567; names those residents cited in deficiencies Other key includes names of others (staff, physician, family, etc.) that are included in deficiency information
165
IDPH on the New Survey Process
Facility staff must focus on the Matrix completion and information since the medical conditions identified on the matrix drive the surveyors review Doing a good job with the residents identified on the Matrix assumes the facility is doing a good job in other areas
Emergency Preparedness These ETags citations are on a separate 2567 Will be conducted as part of the healthcare annual survey

5‐Star Implications
The star for health inspection surveys will be frozen for 1 year to allow time for compliance and understanding of the new survey process Only those occurring after November 28, 2017 Applies to annual and complaint surveys
Health inspection methodology also changing Will only include the two most recent survey data The most recent is weighted at 60% The prior cycle data is weighted at 40%
The number of deficiencies cited and the highest scope and severity will be posted on NHCompare
