They were all posted to this list serv and offered
to us. I am assuming, therefore, that we are permitted to use them,.
None of these were stolen, scanned it, etc. Sorry it took so long to
answer, I missed the original post.

Corey, thank you very
much for posting these links. But I notice that several of them have
company names on the bottom of the forms. Does anyone know if it is ok
for us to print them, use them, distribute them? Please advise.
Thank you,
Winona

I have been
attempting to find the site to download these two manuals. Can anyone
out there help me? My last employer was gracious enough to take them
when I was waiting to move out of my office. I am now working as the
manager of a 16 bed skilled unit. I would love to have these back
again. For all who supported me during my time of stress at the
previous position, I thank you a great deal. The DON finally made the
mistake of lying to me. I had the evidence to prove it also. The
administrator supported me but I simply would not jeopardize my personal
values in order to continue to work there. I gave them a two week
notice, as MDSCO. The DON decided I did not have to work it out.
I was paid two weeks serverence pay, all my earned time, plus bonuses which
were due. I was fortunate enough to have had another position in
line. I had been interviewing, and they wined and dined. My old
DON was going to wait until I refused the other position and then drop the
bomb on me. I accidentally found out before that happened---thank
God. So instead of calling the facility to decline the position, I
accepted. It's strange though. I loved my job and where I
worked. The DON was simply dishonest and worked under the table on
many issues. We were both senior management. I only resigned
because of the dishonesty. The "bomb" was trivial and would not have
effected me in any manner.
Thanks for
listening, once again. Winoma, Kate---yes I am still
around!!!!!

Subject: Something
new
On September 15th
2003 CMS and HHS rolled out a new program where they will be
offering mediation "as an optional method to resolve quality of care
complaints that Medicare patients or their representatives file involving a
practitioner or healthcare provider." I feel the part in quotes is
misleading but that is exactly how it is printed on handouts that
we have been provided by our QIO here in NJ. The reason I feel this way is
the voluntary mediation will be offered only when a non-quality of
care issue is found and I think beneficiaries may misunderstand the
meaning of these meetings. There is already long
standing policies on how to address actual quality of care issues and
that has not changed. Yesterday I attended my second
educational phone conference on this issue and Thursday I am scheduled
to attend an actual role playing session where I hope I will receive more
clarification on this somewhat confusing issue. I have asked and many others
have asked questions that still remain unanswered. I was wondering if others
have heard about this new program and what type of education they are
receiving.
