The Nevada Skilled Nursing Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering skilled nursing services to individuals with acute, chronic, or complex medical needs across the State of Nevada. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including the Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) and the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy (DHCFP). It also complies with federal Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484) and Nevada Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver program requirements. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensure and certification, patient eligibility and referral processes, comprehensive nursing assessments, development and implementation of individualized care plans, medication administration, wound care, chronic disease management, post-acute care, infection prevention and control, staff licensure and ongoing training, patient rights and protections, documentation and billing practices, incident reporting, emergency preparedness, and continuous quality assurance. It emphasizes the delivery of evidence-based, person-centered care in the home or residential setting, supporting recovery, stability, and independence while reducing hospitalizations and institutional placements. This manual serves as a foundational resource for skilled nursing providers in Nevada, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and compassionate nursing services that promote positive health outcomes and enhance quality of life.
