2017 AHC/NCAL Annual Convention & Expo
In November 2017, CMS will require that all Skilled Nursing Facilities complete a Facility Assessment. Participants will learn how to use the SNF Facility Assessment to identify staffing needs to serve your resident population. The session will review how to identify the types of residents you are serving? Do the staff have what they need? How monitor that staff has the skills they and how do you build skills?
