DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 42 CFR Parts 405, 431, 447, 482, 483, 485, and 488 [CMS-3260-P] RIN 0938-AR61 Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Reform of Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS. ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would revise the requirements that Long-Term Care facilities must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These proposed changes are necessary to reflect the substantial advances that have been made over the past several years in the theory and practice of service delivery and safety. These proposals are also an integral part of our efforts to achieve broad-based improvements both in the quality of health care furnished through federal programs, and in patient safety, while at the same time reducing procedural burdens on providers.
