Skilled nursing facilities must be careful—no longer can administrators assume that competency of staff is handled through routine training. Facilities need proper competency assessment and documentation, and management must always be up to date. Competency-Based Care & Facility Assessments: A Compliance Guide for F726 and F838 provides guidance on assessing what your facility needs and determining whether staff are meeting those needs.

CMS updated F-tag 726 and F-tag 838, which require facilities to complete facility assessments annually—to identify specific competencies staff need, and to ensure adequate training and education. This book helps leaders tie competency into staff accountability and provides a road map for new competency development.
