The Kansas Skilled Nursing Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating a state-compliant skilled nursing facility (SNF) in Kansas. This manual aligns with Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) 65-5101 et seq., Kansas Administrative Regulations (K.A.R.) 28-39-144 through 28-39-148, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 483) to ensure full regulatory compliance. It includes policies on licensure, clinical documentation, patient care standards, medication management, infection control, resident rights, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance.
 
The manual covers skilled services, including nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services, as well as non-medical supportive care services4. It outlines requirements for staff qualifications, training, and supervision to maintain high-quality care standards2. The manual also addresses important aspects such as admission procedures, care planning, and discharge planning.
Serving as a comprehensive guide, this manual supports skilled nursing facilities in meeting state licensure requirements, Medicaid and Medicare certification standards, and accreditation criteria while adhering to Kansas's regulatory framework for skilled nursing services. It emphasizes the importance of person-centered care, resident safety, and continuous quality improvement in the delivery of skilled nursing services across the state.
