Since March 9, 2020, CMAR visits have been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2020, RCS will initiate a four-week pilot conducting CMAR visits remotely. The goals of the pilot is to learn how and if off-site RCS work can mitigate or reduce the burden of on-site inspections for facilities in the context of COVID-19 and to explore how CMAR work can bring added value to facilities through use of the QAN protocol.

RCS invites you to volunteer for this pilot. This is a great opportunity to verify the accuracy of your facility’s Minimum Data Set (MDS) coding and to review a Quality Assurance Nurse (QAN) protocol. The QAN protocol provides a focused review of selected care areas.  See letter here
