CMS guidelines require food and nutrition services to meet strict sanitary conditions. These conditions include the readiness of a facility for audits based on best practices for similar organizations. This seminar will discuss the current CMS requirements under §483.60(i)(1)(2) and §482.28 that apply to most food facilities, food services and dietetic services. The seminar lead by a quality assurance expert would discuss the legal requirements and practical solutions for compliance.

Topics covered include offsite preparation worksheet (before survey entry); entrance conference worksheet (QIS facility copy); kitchen/food service observation; and disaster, emergency preparedness. With this session, you will get an understanding of current food codes, how your health inspection determines your facility’s CMS 5 star rating and how this affects billing and code revisions, and supports integrated, coordinated care provisions.

• Implementation under a revised provision §483.60(i)(1)(2) for food and nutrition services
