OIG Work Plan Activities – Could the RAI system be impacted directly or indirectly?

Event Phone: (954) MDS-3-ADL

What You’ll Learn

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is responsible for the oversight of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). OIG is an independent, objective, oversight agency with dual reporting responsibility to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and to Congress.  76% of the OIG’s oversight for 2022 was on Medicare and Medicaid. Much of their role is to focus on systemic improvements, improved compliance, successful enforcement actions and recovery of misspent funds.

This webinar focuses on current investigations being completed on various issues in the nursing home, the focus of the investigations, the status of the report and potential impact to the RAI system.

After attending this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe the OIG work focus
2. Identify 2 – 3 areas of OIG investigations that could impact the RAI system
3. Develop 2-3 areas of improvement needed in areas being reviewed by the OIG and potential corrective actions
