Achieving compliance requires adherence to plans of correction, training, and consistent efforts, but access to capital is often needed, which is difficult for facilities on the SFF list.

While in the SFF program, CMS expects facilities to take meaningful actions to address the underlying and systemic issues leading to poor quality. 

Consulting services can help SNFs improve performance by conducting mock surveys, reviewing care plans, and focusing on audits related to psychotropics, wound care, and dietary compliance.

Learn more about navigating the SFF program, and help your client understand how to leverage expertise from an external third-party in our whitepaper “Overcoming Challenges of the SNF Special Focus Facility List and Moving Up the Star Ranks.”
