13 The Accreditation Program The Rehabilitation Agency (RA)/An Outpatient Physical Therapy (OPT) Program was developed by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). The program is available for participation nationwide. The AAAASF RA/OPT Medicare Accreditation Program certifies that an accredited organization meets nationally recognized standards and is conducted by qualified subject matter experts experienced in the field, who determine the standards under the direction of the Board of Directors of AAAASF. The AAAASF RA/OPT Medicare Accreditation Program strives for the highest standards of excellence for its organizations by regularly revising and updating its requirements for patient safety and quality of care. AAAASF requires 100% compliance of AAAASF RA/OPT Medicare approved standards. This program includes the following types of facilities referred to generically and collectively as organizations : Clinic. A facility that is established primarily to furnish outpatient physician services and that meets the following tests of physician involvement o The medical services are furnished by a group of three or more physicians practicing medicine together o A physician is present during all hours of operation of the clinic to furnish medical services, as distinguished from purely administrative services Public Health Agency. An official agency established by a State or local government, the primary function of which is to maintain the health of the population served by performing environmental health services, preventative medical services, and in certain cases, therapeutic services Rehabilitation Agency. An agency that provides an integrated multidisciplinary rehabilitation program designed to upgrade the physical functioning of handicapped disabled individuals by brining specialized rehabilitation staff together to perform as a team; and provides at least the following services: physical therapy or speech-language pathology services Basic Mandates Changes in clinic ownership must be reported to the AAAASF Office within thirty (30) days All qualified personnel practicing in an accredited organization must meet one of the following criteria: 1. Physical Therapist 2. Physical Therapist Assistants 3. Occupational Therapist 4. COTA Certified Occupational Therapist Assistance 5. SLP Speech Language Pathologist Please note: The same Conditions of Participation for Physical Therapy apply to Occupational Therapy as well. 11
14 Inspection An agency is inspected every three years. All RA/OPT Medicare Accreditation Program inspectors are trained by AAAASF. Inspectors have a working familiarity with rehabilitation agency. The agency inspector will review any deficiencies with the agency director and forward the Standards and Checklist answer sheet to the AAAASF Office. To be accredited by AAAASF, an agency must meet every standard. Self-Evaluation An agency is evaluated by the agency director each year between inspections and the Standards and Checklist answer sheet is sent to the AAAASF Office. An agency s RA/OPT accreditation remains valid if it continues to meet every standard. Denial or Loss of Accreditation The AAAASF may deny or revoke accreditation of an agency if the agency fails to satisfy every standard. In addition, if any medical professional providing services at the agency; (A) has had their privileges restricted or limited related to lack of clinical competence, ethical issues (B) has been found to be in violation of the Code of Ethics of any professional society or association of which they are a member. (C) has had their right to practice limited, suspended, terminated or otherwise affected by any state, province, or country, or if they have been disciplined by any licensing authority. (D) non-reporting of any of the above to the AAAASF. Hearing Any agency whose accreditation has been revoked or denied by the AAAASF has the right to a Hearing at which it may present such information as it deems advisable to show that it has satisfied the requirements for accreditation. The Hearing process is described in the AAAASF Bylaws available from the AAAASF Office. 12
15 Emergency Suspension or Emergency Probation The AAAASF may place an agency on Emergency Suspension or Emergency Probation status upon receiving information that a state board has taken action, or begun formal proceedings which may result in it taking action against a license of a practitioner at the agency, or the Board of Directors determining that the agency may no longer meet AAAASF standards for accreditation. An agency that has been placed on Emergency Suspension or Emergency Probation status will remain in such status pending an expedited investigation and possible Hearing conducted in accordance with AAAASF procedures available from the AAAASF Office. Important Notice - Maximal patient safety has always been our guiding concern. We are proud that our Standards may be considered the strongest of any agency that accredits rehabilitation agencies and that many consider them to be the Gold Standard. We recognize, however, that they need to be part of a living document, and we continually re-evaluate and revise these Standards in the light of medical advances and changing legislative guidelines. The AAAASF RA/Outpatient Physical Therapy Medicare Accreditation Program requires 100% compliance with each Standard to become and remain accredited. There are no exceptions. However, when a Standard refers to appropriate or proper or adequate, reasonable flexibility and room for individual consideration by the inspector is permitted as long as patient and staff safety remain uncompromised. 13
16 Policy for Extension Site Surveys AAAASF surveys all primary locations and extension sites. Each extension location must meet all applicable standards independently. AAAASF surveyors complete a separate survey manual, including all checklists and worksheets for each site. All sites comprise a single unit for deeming purposes. Therefore a deficiency citation at any site reflects as a deficiency for that standard at the primary location for reporting and deeming purposes. Noncompliance with standards at any single location jeopardizes the certification all associated locations. If a facility that is already deemed, applies to add an extension site and the extension site fails to comply with standards AAAASF denies the addition of that site. One report that contains the primary and extension site survey results will be generated by AAAASF OPT/RA for report to the RO for deeming recommendation. Extension location. A location or site from which a rehabilitation agency provides services within a portion of total geographic area served by the primary site. The extension location is part of the rehabilitation agency. The extension location should be located sufficiently close to share administration, supervision, and services in a manner that renders it unnecessary for the extension location to independently meet the conditions of participation as a rehabilitation agency. 14
17 OPT Policy for Survey Clinical Record Review Effective upon passage by the AAAASF Executive Committee for implementation by April 1, Definition Case: The term Case in this policy is used interchangeably with the term Record, and is defined as a unique patient treated in the clinic regardless of the number of visits or services received. Policy Clinical record review is conducted at each site as part of the Medicare survey process. The surveyor will ensure that a random sample of clinical records is reviewed. All clinics must have begun treating patients and be currently treating patients in order to enroll in the program. The clinic is required to produce a log or other record of closed cases for the previous six month period. The surveyor will select a sample of clinical records to review. A sample of both open and closed cases should be reviewed and should include a sample from each therapist and discipline (SLP, OT, PT) as offered at the site. The sample selected should represent a cross section of the cases performed at the site and include both Medicare beneficiaries and non-medicare patients. The record review requirement is established for each site independently and is based on the site s monthly case volume as follows: An average monthly case volume of 50 or more Requires a minimum of 20 record reviews An average monthly case volume of less than 50 Requires a minimum of 10 record reviews. *Clinics that have begun treating patients but have accumulated 10 or fewer cases total Requires a minimum of 5 record reviews Please note: The number of records reviewed should be determined by case volume not patient visits. The total number of records within the six month case period must be noted on the review form to establish the monthly average. If deficient practices are noted during the records review, the surveyor may request additional records to substantiate the findings documented from the initial sample. 15
18 Policy for Survey Personnel Record Review The clinic must produce a complete list of all employees. The lead surveyor must ensure that a random sample of personnel records is reviewed. The minimum number of records selected for review is 50% of the total number of personnel records. If deficient practices are noted during the records review, the survey team should request additional record samples to substantiate the findings documented from the initial sample. Throughout the review process, if an egregious number of deficient practices are noted, the survey team must document whether the deficiencies constitute a condition level area of noncompliance. 16
19 Surveyor Instructions: Citation Include the facts and findings relevant to the deficient practice must answer the questions: who, what, where, when, and how. Illustrate the entity s noncompliance with the requirement. The deficiency citation must clearly and legibly explain how the entity fails to comply with the regulatory requirements, not how it fails to comply with any guidelines for the interpretation of those requirements. Wherever possible, supply a numerator and denominator to demonstrate how systemic a deficiency is, for example 4/6 Medical records failed to include an informed consent. Refer to the CMS Principles of Documentation for further instruction. The citation must include a determination of whether the deficiency constitutes Standard or Condition Level Noncompliance. Condition level noncompliance is substantial noncompliance that requires additional surveys to ensure compliance before can be recommended or approved. Official Forms Surveyors may not submit custom surveyor materials as the surveyor report to the AAAASF office. The requirement for surveyor report submission is specific to the official AAAASF surveyor materials, which must be completed in full according to AAAASF surveyor guidelines and policies. Any custom materials are only considered to be in support of or as supplements to the official materials. All forms must be completed in ink. When scoring, please use a clear check mark ( Record Review ) to indicate your scoring decision. The survey process requires the completion of two record review components, personnel record review and clinical record review. The AAAASF staff has gathered the appropriate information, such as the monthly case load and number of employees, from the facility to establish the facility specific requirements for both record review components. Please review, at a minimum, the number of record reviews indicated on the review form provided in this manual. You may ask for additional records to facilitate a determination of whether a deficient practice is a rare occurrence or a systemic problem. Please make additional copies of forms as needed and document your findings. When completing review worksheets simply fill in the circle corresponding to the appropriate answer to document your findings. Please refrain from using symbols and other notes. For any file component that is noncompliant for one or more files, the corresponding standard must be cited as deficient and a deficiency form must be completed. When conducting the Personnel Record Review please also verify that the number of facility employees matches the number listed on the Personnel Record Review Form. 17 Approved: June 9, 2014 Implemented: June 9, 2014
20 Error Corrections The AAAASF Surveyor Manual is an official record as such all surveyor notations must be made in ink, corrections and revisions must also be made consistent with AAAASF procedures. Any errors or revisions to narrative or scoring must be corrected using a single horizontal strikethrough with the initials of the surveyor and date of the revision. Do not use liquid paper, scribble out, or X over errors or revisions. JD 1/1/2014 Example: Compliant Deficient Extension Site Surveys (OPT Only) When conducting a survey for an Extension Location, please fully complete the surveyor manual and all appropriate worksheets. If a standard pertains to a function or service not provided at the particular site being surveyed, mark the standard as Compliant in the Surveyor Manual for that location. For example if the site does not employ an occupational therapist, all standards relating to the qualifications and duties of an occupational therapist must be marked Compliant. 18 Approved: June 9, 2014 Implemented: June 9, 2014
