AHCA, along with guest speakers, has been hosting an ongoing webinar
series event this year on the new emergency preparedness final rule
impacting skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), nursing facilities (NFs) and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities
(ICF/IID).This final rule is not applicable to assisted living (AL) providers.
The
rule was released on Friday, September 16, 2016, and can be found here.
Providers will need to be in compliance by November 15, 2017.
The webinar series has thus far included, among other things, special guest speakers, an overview of the key
new requirements, a list of tools to assess whether you are prepared for the rule, and recommended steps to take in order to prepare.
The final webinar from the series for this year, entitled "Emergency Preparedness Requirements - Part IV", will occur on November 21, 2017.
You can register here for the webinar. Further details
on the webinar will be sent out towards the end of October.
