Nursing Homes Inspections - It'S About The Residents

Course overview

The goal of this program is to assist nurses in educating elderly patients and their families about the inspection process and how it helps to ensure residents' rights, quality of life, and quality of care in long-term care facilities. After you study this information, you will be able to; explain how residents are preselected for observation of special care needs, identify how surveyors use resident, family, and staff interviews to determine resident satisfaction, quality of life, and quality of care, and describe surveyors' on-site methods of assessing regulatory deficiencies.
