" The book] lists all the federal requirements that are
evaluated by state surveyors during the annual survey visit to
nursing homes and for complaint visits. The exhibit section
contains forms used by surveyors to gather data during the survey
visit. Visually, the format makes the regulations easy to read. If
nursing home staff used the book to prepare for a survey, they
would be well prepared."

From Doody's Review
Nursing homes are now the most highly regulated environments in
the United States, in the service of maximizing the quality of each
resident's life. This user-friendly guide has been updated to
provide all of the requisite information needed by nursing home
staff to prepare for a visit from federal surveyers. It provides
the most current federal guidelines and the procedures used by
federal surveyors in certifying facilities for participation in
Medicare and Medicaid funding. It describes every aspect and
service of a nursing home that is subject to inspection and
includes the nearly 20% of new requirements established during the
past three years, with an emphasis on the new Minimum Data Set
3.0.
The guide not only presents federal requirements and explanatory
guidelines but also explains how to best interpret these guidelines
so nursing home staff can be optimally prepared for a survey visit.
It reflects changes in regulations regarding end-of-life care,
nasogastric tube regulations, and rights to establish advance
directives. The guide also provides information straight from CMS's
Internet-Only Manual.
