HHSC issued enhanced COVID-19 emergency rules. The rules required additional actions by the HCS/TxHmL program providers to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We will be discussing many of these changes and ways they should be addressed at your facility if you have not done so already in order to comply with WS&C expectations. We will also be looking at general recommendations and concerns from surveyors for LTC facilities including HCS providers. What citations might be considered serious/critical related to COVID-19?
