The new VHA Handbook, 1143.2
(June, 2004), updates new
approaches to community nursing home (CNH) oversight that were first introduced in 2002.
It draws
on the latest research and data systems advances.
MemberoftheFamily.net has developed an entirely new approach to
provide VA subscribers with quick, easy, efficient and accurate
analysis of the data required for a nursing home review.The new MemberoftheFamily.net
National Nursing Home Review Wizard©
follows and incorporates the requirements in the VHA handbook 1143.2, compares threshold standards
based on computed national and state averages and calculates the criteria
that can lead to exclusion and termination of nursing homes from the CNH Program based on the
scope and severity of a CNH's deficiencies. Using the wizard you can:
- Gain instant access to a CNH's CMS
evaluation
- Review the information you need to
decide whether or not the report is complete
- Quickly see whether or not a particular
CNH meets the VHA's updated criteria
- Be sure you have checked all the
components required in the review protocol
- Know that the information you see is as
current as what is available through CMS.
Use the evaluation access to
see how detailed the new review format is.
