SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Nursing homes. Directs the Joint Commission on Health Care, with the assistance of the Department of Health, to study (i) the adequacy of current Virginia regulations for licensure of nursing homes and the advisability of utilizing “deemed status” for nationally accredited nursing homes and (ii) in cooperation with the Secretary of Health and Human Resources, the concept of centers of excellence in long-term care. In its study, the Joint Commission will examine the Commonwealth’s nursing home licensure regulations to determine (i) means for making such regulations more outcome-oriented and focused on continuous quality improvement, (ii) opportunities for gathering additional resident and family input as part of the licensure process for nursing homes, (iii) the advisability of accepting national accreditation as evidence of compliance with state licensure standards, and (iv) other states’ laws regarding deemed status for state licensure of nursing homes. The Joint Commission shall examine the concept of centers of excellence with regard to long-term care reimbursement, specialized care programs, and best management practices. The Joint Commission will report to the Senate Committee on Education and Health and the House Committee on Health, Welfare, and Institutions prior to October 1, 1999.
