The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has a new Quality in Focus interactive video series featuring 10- to 15-minute videos tailored to providers with the aim of reducing the deficiencies most commonly cited during the CMS survey process.

These include citations for infection control and accident prevention. Learn to:

• Understand surveyor evaluation criteria

  
  

• Recognize deficiencies.

  
  

• Incorporate solutions into your facility’s standards of care

Access the videos here.

In addition, CMS said it has updated guidance on emergency preparedness. See the link here.
