Long-term care facilities must specifically report a facility census of resident vaccination status, confirmed resident cases and residents hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19, influenza and RSV, overall and by vaccination status, according to a Dec. 31 memo from CMS. 

The agency is developing compliance evaluation guidance for facility surveyors, the memo said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
