IHCA
CMS released a Survey & Certification Memorandum to State Survey Agencies regarding this new initiative. In 2012, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Partnership to Improve Dementia Care in Nursing Homes to promote comprehensive dementia care and therapeutic interventions for nursing home residents with dementia-related behaviors. Stakeholders, such as AMDA and AHCA are sending letters to support the Partnership to Improve Dementia Care in Nursing Homes. The S&C Memo is available in the Member's Only section of the IHCA website, as is a list of Q&As related to the initiative that have been fielded by Region V staff.
In support of the initiative, IHCA will be sending data to its member facilities regarding their antipsychotic use rate. The data can also be sorted for an entire corporate entity, should you so desire that information. If you would like that aggregate data for all facilities in your company, please contact Zach Cattell at zcattell@ihca.org or 317-616-9001.
