CMS may extend new LTC vaccine education rules to other facilities
Review the details of an interim final rule CMS published in May that sets COVID-19 vaccine requirements for long-term care (LTC) facilities and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICFs-IID). CMS is considering extending these requirements to other healthcare organizations, including psychiatric hospitals and inpatient hospice facilities. So, you or your C-suite may want to submit comments on the rule. The changes to the Conditions of Participation for LTC and ICFs-IDD primarily require vaccines to be offered to residents, clients, and staff when available. They also set education and CDC reporting requirements.
