Description

Part II June 15, 2023*

Phase Three of the revised Federal regulations for Trauma-Informed Care and Behavioral Health Services challenge long-term care facilities to ensure that they are fully prepared to care for residents with complex psychosocial needs. This two-part series offers an overview of the revised regulatory expectations and insight into policy development and staff education.

Part One will review the revised CMS regulations for Trauma-informed Care, with a focus on understanding and integrating the principles of trauma-informed care into daily practice. In the wake of the pandemic, the facility staff must have the ability to recognize and understand the nature of trauma and how post-traumatic stress impacts behavioral health and quality of life.

Part Two explores the concept of quality of life and the individual nature of satisfaction. The introduction of the Psychosocial Outcome Severity Guide requires long-term care communities look more deeply at the assessment and care planning process. This discussion will highlight strategies for policy development, staff education, and achieving and sustaining a culturally competent, trauma-informed environment of care.
