Skilled nursing facilities must be careful-no longer can administrators assume that competency of staff is handled through routine training. Facilities need proper competency assessment and documentation, and management must always be up to date. Competency-Based Care & Facility Assessments: A Compliance Guide for F726 and F838 provides guidance on assessing what your facility needs and determining whether staff are meeting those needs.
CMS updated F-tag 726 and F-tag 838, which require facilities to complete facility assessments annually-to identify specific competencies staff need, and to ensure adequate training and education. This book helps leaders tie competency into staff accountability and provides a road map for new competency development.
With an explanation of how to stay compliant, how to properly conduct assessments, and how to develop a competency-based training program, plus more than 100 competency assessments, forms, and checklists, this resource is everything long-term care leadership needs.
