VOYCE provides free education to empower individuals and families to make better-informed decisions about the continuum of care and better understand those personally and professionally connected to aging adults. Join VOYCE for free webinars monthly on imperative topics affecting individuals and their families across the continuum of care.

 

August 30, 2023: For the Love of Quality Care: Implementing Innovative Education

Advocates for quality care, caregivers, family and friends, and aging care professionals; this webinar is truly for everyone! Training and education on dementia, meaningful activities, and person-centered care should be practice-focused and brief. Join VOYCE to learn about the practice videos and modules available and how to disseminate them, and you’ll be one step closer to ensuring quality care for all! Saint Louis University’s Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program, along with Memory Care Home Solutions, has developed brief practice videos and modules on topics important for professionals in long-term care and other care settings. They include topics like loneliness and isolation, polypharmacy, infection, meaningful activities, geriatric assessment, dementia, and more. This presentation will provide insight into the use of these resources and the positive impact they have on training and outcomes for consumers. This event is free and open to all who are interested.

 

October 10, 2023: Summit to Protect Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities

VOYCE will host a series of four stakeholder summits to hear from the community and professional stakeholders about their experiences with Missouri’s abuse response system. October’s summit is the second in the series. The summits are open to everyone, as we are all stakeholders in responding to abuse, neglect, and exploitation. We hope to use this time to gather pain points from the community and learn how the system can be improved. The input received from the Stakeholders Summit will be used to create our final project- a strategic plan for restructuring and improving the system. Please register in advance to join.

 

October 12, 2023: Professional Development: Residents’ Rights Regarding Sex and Intimacy

Sexual rights are human rights at all stages of life. This presentation will shed light on the challenges older adults face regarding sexuality, including physical changes, personal and societal stigmas around older adults’ sexual activity, isolation, changes in brain functioning, and the loss of a partner. Those who provide services must understand their role in treating sexual expression as a right and serving all patients holistically and with dignity.

Essentials of the LTC Director of Nursing Role – Part 1

Posted on

August 9 & 10, 2023: Essentials of the LTC Director of Nursing Role – Part 1
Virtual: August 9 (12:15pm-4pm) & August 10 (1pm-4pm)

LeadingAge Missouri in partnership with LeadingAge Iowa is pleased to announce a virtual series that will take place in three segments over the second half of 2023 that will aid in developing the Director of Nursing (DON) role in nursing homes. Elements of this series will focus on understanding CMS programs that impact reimbursement and quality assurance; survey processes and regulations; and human resources, customer service, and leadership.

Each segment of this series is designed to provide in-depth information and discussion on each topic without taking the series in a sequential order or taking all 3 sections of the series. By making each of the 3 segments standalone, you can better address succession planning by having individuals attend as their nurse leadership skills are identified. Additional sections in this series will be added to the events calendar in September and December.

NH Providers Login Credentials Maintenance

Posted on

The purpose of this communication is to remind Nursing Home Providers to ensure you maintain accurate contact information and login credentials in the QIES system even though all Minimum Data Set (MDS) information is now being submitted via the Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES) system. You will continue to receive important information regarding any findings of noncompliance with the requirement to report COVID-19 data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) in your CASPER Shared Folder. This means that facilities will need to continue to maintain two sets of login credentials, one set to access the CASPER Reporting application [CMS Network (CMSNet) and QIES Login credentials] and the HARP login credentials to continue submission of MDS records and accessing reports in iQIES.

Below is the link for the CASPER login. Please be sure that you are successfully logged into the CMS Network (CMSNet) prior to trying to access the CASPER link below.

Post PHE Modifications and Registration Information for the LTCF COVID-19 Module

Posted on

Below is important information regarding Long-term care facilities (LTCF) and reporting COVID-19 data to NHSN once the Public Health Emergency has ended.

Long-term care facilities that are CMS certified will still need to report to the LTCF COVID-19 Module Surveillance Pathways (Resident Impact and Facility Capacity, Staff and Personnel Impact, and Therapeutics) and the COVID-19 Vaccination Module once the Public Health Emergency is declared over on May 11, 2023

In 2020, CMS published an IFC (CMS-5531-IFC) requiring all LTC facilities to report COVID-19 information using the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) (42 CFR 483(g)). This requirement was extended through a final rule (CMS-1747-F) and is set to terminate on December 31, 2024. This excludes the requirements at § 483.80(g)(1)(viii), which will continue to support national efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.

Please note, the COVID-19 Module Surveillance Pathways (Resident Impact and Facility Capacity, Staff and Personnel Impact, and Therapeutics) and the COVID-19 Vaccination Module are two separate modules and data will need to be reported to both on a weekly basis. Reporting to only one module does NOT satisfy the CMS reporting requirements.

NHSN provides a pathway to report data but is not a regulatory or enforcement body. Please direct any questions and/or concerns regarding reporting requirements and penalties/fines to CMS for further information.

The COVID-19 Module Surveillance Pathways will undergo updates in response to the end of the Public Health Emergency, including:

  • Reducing vaccination elements to include only up to date status for residents with a positive COVID-19 test
  • Removal of influenza data field
  • Removal of staffing and supply shortages data fields
  • Removal of deaths in the Staff and Personnel Impact Pathway
  • Removal of the therapeutics pathway
  • Addition of a new data field, hospitalizations, in the Resident Impact and Facility Capacity Pathway to assess relevant outcome data on residents with a positive COVID-19 test.

New Updates to the NHSN LTCF COVID-19 Module Surveillance Pathways Webinars

Specific details regarding these changes will be reviewed during upcoming training webinars.
