As states continue moving forward with their reopening plans, a growing number are introducing new mandates for skilled nursing and other long-term care facilities. The team at Infection Control Consulting Services (ICCS) expects the number of states enforcing new requirements to increase in the upcoming weeks. This comes as CMS resumes inspections and is expected to unveil new requirements for long-term providers.

California recently became one such state with new mandates when it signed a new bill into law that affects the following:

  • Data reporting on deaths and cases of communicable diseases

  • Staffing

  • Infection prevention quality control planning

  • Annual training

Skilled nursing and other long-term care facilities seeking assistance with achieving state and federal regulation compliance, identifying vulnerabilities, corrective action plan development, deficiency mitigation, implementation of programs, and staff education should contact ICCS by filling out the “Request a Consultation” form on this page, clicking here, or calling (215) 692-3485.
