Transcript Making Sense of the PA/POC Requirements
A Workshop Facilitated by
Glenda M. Payne, RN, MS, CNN
ESRD Technical Advisor,
CMS Regions 4 & 6
Dallas, TX
First, let’s talk about:
The basic ESRD regulatory
requirements for patient
assessments and plan of care…
Every Patient Must Have
Individualized Patient Assessment
Individualized Plan of Care
By Interdisciplinary Team
Done Timely
Implemented
Reviewed and Updated as Indicated
Who Is Needs to Be Involved?
IDT includes at a minimum:
The patient or their designee (if the
patient chooses)
A registered nurse
A physician treating the patient for
ESRD
A social worker
A dietitian
4
Multidisciplinary Care vs.
Interdisciplinary Care
Multidisciplinary
Interdisciplinary
Work sequentially
Work collaboratively
Medical record is the
chief means of
communication
Communication by
regular discussions
about patient status &
the evolving plan of
care
5
Timelines for Patient Assessments
New admits:
Initially: Latter of 30 days/13 treatments
Reassessment: 90 days after initial assessment
Transfers/transients:
If they come with: use that for 3 months, then
reassess
If they don’t come with: 30 days/13 treatments
Stable patients: annually
Unstable patients: monthly
Who Is “Unstable?”
Includes but is not limited to:
Extended or frequent hospitalization (>15
days or >3 X a month)
Marked deterioration in health status
Significant change in psychosocial needs
Concurrent poor nutritional status,
unmanaged anemia & inadequate dialysis
7
When Must POC Be Implemented?
First assessment: within the same
timeframe as the assessment (latter of
30 days/13 treatments)
Any reassessment: 15 days after
reassessment completed
What About Stable Patients?
If a “stable” patient’s outcomes do not meet the
care plan goals in an area, the facility must
recognize and address that aspect and revise the
plan of care accordingly between annual
comprehensive reassessments
“Monitor, Recognize and Address”

Take It To the MAT
Measures Assessment Tool
Current, professionally accepted
clinical practice standards of care at
your fingertips
Common understanding of expected
targets/goals
Let’s take a look at the MAT…
What Do You Need to Document?
Process for patient assessment
Patient plan of care development
Goals
Timelines
Plan of care implementation
Plan of care review/revision
11
Where Would This Work Be Documented?
Assessments
Plan of Care
Orders for treatment
Interdisciplinary
progress notes
Lab results
Dialysis treatment
records
PD flow sheets
and clinic notes
HD treatment
records-pre/post
assessments,
monitoring
during treatment
12
Dialysis treatment records?
Home patients:
PD – look at 1-3 mo flowsheets ; HHD - 10-15 treatments:
Is the patient following dialysis prescription?
In-center Hemo - look at 10-15 treatments:
Staff following dialysis prescription?
BFR,DFR, dialyzer, dialysate, heparin, Na/UF profile
Medications administered as ordered?
Anemia management
Mineral/bone disorder management
Immunizations, ABT, other meds
BP/ Fluid management
13
Documenting Implementation
Patient Plan of Care
Interdisciplinary progress notes
Nursing
interventions
Social services interventions
Dietary counseling/education
Referrals for rehab, vascular access,
etc.
14
Documenting Implementation
Patient education
Modalities/self-care, home
dialysis, transplantation
Emergency procedures
Infection prevention,
immunizations, personal care,
vascular access care
Home training
15
CfC: PA and POC
Two interlocked Conditions:
§494.80 Condition: Patient Assessment
§494.90 Condition: Patient Plan of Care
Corresponding requirements
Patient Plan of Care “uses” Patient Assessment
Doing either in isolation will not accomplish the
intended goal: Individualized Care

Now to Let You Do Some Work!
In order for you to demonstrate knowledge of
the link between the patient assessment and
the plan of care for that specific patient, and
To identify critical components of the POC for
specific patients,
We have created several case studies for your
“IDT” to use in developing or updating POCs…
Pitfalls to Effective PA/POC
Doing great assessments; not doing a plan of care
Not using the information gathered in the assessment
to develop the POC
Not implementing the plan
Not reviewing the results to see if the plan is working
Not updating the plan to change or refocus the goal(s)
Not monitoring the individual’s progress after
interventions are implemented
