“Post-acute organizations need to do strategic compliance program planning now to avoid adverse survey outcomes,” said Kristine Tomzik, RN, MBA, BSN, CHC, CCEP, CHPC, CFE. “Heightening awareness through concise and consistent messaging, strong policies and procedures and staff training are key to lessening the impact of adverse survey outcomes post PHE.”
“The post-acute care continuum is facing unprecedented challenges in keeping up with the rapidly changing regulatory landscape, caused largely by regulator reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Cheryl Ben-David, PT, DPT, CHC, CRC, CPC, CDC. “The pandemic exposed gaps in our healthcare delivery system, painfully evident in the Nursing Home sector. Challenge brings opportunities for innovative partnerships and program development, like the expanded use of Telehealth. Likely, other temporary roll-backs will remain, which will change the healthcare delivery system as we know it.”
Compliance is an important component of the ACHT Curriculum. “We are proud to have two people of the expertise and stature of Ms. Tomzik and Dr. Ben-David conducting this webinar,” said David Levien, MD, MBA, FACS, President and CEO of ACHT. “Ms. Tomzik is the American College of Healthcare Trustees Fellow.
