F-Tag Library On-Demand Series-F561 Self-Determination

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation covers FTAG F561, focusing on resident self-determination in long-term care facilities. It emphasizes residents’ rights to choose activities, schedules, healthcare providers, and other life aspects based on their interests and care plans. Facilities must respect these choices, not impose schedules for staff convenience, and accommodate preferences like bathing methods or attendance at community events. Surveyors assess compliance by interviewing residents, families, and staff, reviewing documentation, and ensuring care plans reflect resident preferences. Noncompliance includes ignoring resident choices or enforcing uniform schedules without input. To regain compliance, facilities must analyze root causes, develop corrective actions addressing affected and potential residents, revise policies if needed, train staff on resident rights and documentation, and implement specific monitoring plans with audits and interviews. Systemic changes beyond staff education, such as updating electronic health records to capture preferences, are key. Resources and guidelines from CMS and APACN support ongoing compliance and quality assurance.
