Clearpol's Opinion of this Guidance
The Long-Term Care Regulation Provider Letter, PL 2023-03, issued on January 6, 2023, provides an overview of changes to F-tags in Appendix PP of the CMS State Operations Manual. The changes are related to revised surveyor guidance for nursing facilities and are effective as of October 24, 2022. Nursing facilities are encouraged to take the training available in the Quality, Safety, and Education Portal to understand the updates and changes to the regulations and guidance. The revisions include expanded examples of deficiency categorization, and CMS is providing guidance related to the requirement for all facilities to have an Infection Preventionist. Nursing homes should refer to QSO 22-19 and Appendix PP of the SOM for a full description of changes. The contact information for any questions is provided in the letter.

Clearpol's AI Summary
The Long-Term Care Regulatory Provider Letter PL 2021-19 (revised) outlines the process for individuals who have completed nurse aide tasks under the COVID-19 public health emergency waiver to complete a Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program (NATCEP) and be added to the nurse aide registry. The waiver will end on May 11, 2023, and nurse aide candidates will have four months from the end of the public health emergency to become certified. Work training and experience at any licensed nursing facility in Texas now qualify under permanent rule. Nursing facilities without a NATCEP must work with an approved NATCEP to approve individuals for certification examinations. The nursing facility must complete LTCR Form 3767 and submit it to the NATCEP. The NATCEP must use the Prometric process to approve individuals for the nurse aide certification examinations. Candidates must pass both the written/oral and skills examinations to be certified and placed on the nurse aide registry.
