Important upcoming live seminar and webinar on Mastering Past Noncompliance
If you operate a nursing facility, you know the importance of developing an effective past noncompliance plan that will pass muster when the survey team visits. We’ve reported on this important issue in the past but we, once again, want to bring to your attention an upcoming live workshop and follow up virtual opportunity on the issue being hosted by the Wisconsin Division of Quality Assurance (DQA):
The live workshop will take place on Monday, May 11th from 12:30 – 4:30 at the DQA offices located at 201 E. Washington Street in Madison, Conference Room D203. The virtual opportunity will take place on Monday, May 18th from 8:30 -12:30.
Additional details are set forth below.
Introducing a New Workshop on Past Noncompliance
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), in partnership with the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh Center for Community Development, Engagement & Training (UWO CCDET), introduced a new workshop through the Wisconsin Caregiver Training Project focused on Past Noncompliance (PNC).
Mastering Past Noncompliance: Turning Deficiencies into Demonstrated Compliance
This new 4-hour workshop is designed for nursing home administrators, directors of nursing, compliance staff, and others responsible for survey readiness and regulatory compliance.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of how PNC is applied during the survey process and how to effectively demonstrate that identified deficiencies have been fully corrected and sustained over time. The session will cover:
- CMS criteria for PNC and how it differs from current or ongoing noncompliance.
- Identifying deficient practices, determining scope of impact, and implementing corrective actions.
- Monitoring strategies to achieve and sustain substantial compliance.
- Documentation that demonstrates the issue occurred, that it was corrected, and did not recur.
- Applying PNC findings to strengthen Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) and compliance efforts and potentially reduce regulatory penalties.
