On October 4, 2016, CMS published the biggest overhaul to federal long-term care regulations since 1991. In an effort to assist providers and industry leaders in understanding the most substantive and impactful changes, Polsinelli will be presenting a series of three webinars. In the third and final webinar, we will continue the discussion and analysis of CMS' new rules that:

• Clarify what constitutes appropriate coordination of resident assessments with Medicaid's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review program.

• Require person-centered care plans within 48 hours of resident admission.

• Require a discharge planning process that focuses on residents' goals and transition as well as the reduction of preventable re-admissions.

• Ensure nurses have competencies and skill sets necessary to care for residents' needs.

• Reduce or eliminate psychotropic drug use and require pharmacists to review medical charts monthly.

• Develop an infection control program that includes an antibiotic stewardship program.
