Forget asking surveyors how to comply with regulations.  In Los Angeles County our biggest problem is that they do not know the regulations.  This year's survey team 'want' it one way and next year another [or the same] team tell you it is all wrong. 

Read the regulations and develop a policy that meets the needs of your residents and the facility.  It is not brain surgery.

Could any of you who are "lurking" surveyors (Yeah, you, MR), send me some guidance (along with links to supporting regulations, etc)?  Also, what are other facilities doing as far as P/P for antipsychotic meds?


Do you really think that a surveyor is going to tell you how to fix this? It has been my experience that the surveyors don't and won't give advice of any kind.
