Are you geared up and ready to roll on October 24, 2022? If you are a skilled nursing center, you need to be! If you are asking “what is Phase 3,” we have a huge problem lol! A little background, the new RoPs were rolled out in phases:

  • Phase 2 – November 28, 2017 
  • COVID Hiatus 
  • Phase 3 – October 24, 2022 (original date November 28, 2019) 

Phase 3 – highlights the following areas: 

  • QAPI 
  • Trauma Informed Care 
  • Behavioral Health Services for History of Trauma PTSD 
  • Staffing and Competencies 
  • Infection Preventionist 
  • Compliance and Ethics Program 

Hopefully I got your attention, this isn’t the “same stuff different day” scenario, it is time to take charge of the process. Are you at a loss as to where you can go for assistance?
