The new quality indicator survey (QIS) process is slowly picking up speed. Statewide rollout is already underway in Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Kansas, Minnesota, and Ohio, and CMS has selected three additional states (reportedly North Carolina, New Mexico, and West Virginia) to begin the transition to the QIS in the near future.
However, facilities that aren’t facing imminent QIS implementation can benefit from the tools developed for this new survey process. This is because these tools are based on current federal regulation and interpretive guidance to surveyors used in traditional surveys, says Mary Leber, RN-BC, RA-C, director of consulting services at Ecumen, a nonprofit senior housing company in Shoreview, MN.
