New CMS Long-Term Care Surveyor Guidance: Key Changes Affecting Residents and Facilities, Compliance and Litigation

Healthcare attorney Jane Feist will join a distinguished panel to discuss the impact on compliance and litigation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) updated long-term care survey guidelines effective Feb. 24, 2025. These surveys are used to evaluate nursing home facilities' compliance with state and federal laws, and the guidelines inform how they should be conducted. With the updates, CMS is introducing changes to what constitutes a deficiency, along with modifications to other regulations concerning admissions, transfers, medication management and infection control. During this Strafford-hosted webinar, the speakers will review the updates in addition to analyze what they mean for litigation of surveys and citations and how they could alter best practices for plaintiffs and defendants.
