Training Description
Mandatory
The Immediate Jeopardy Update Training introduces surveyors and non-surveyors to the revised Appendix Q–Core Guidelines to Determining Immediate Jeopardy. The Core Appendix Q focuses on the key components necessary to establish immediate jeopardy (IJ) under the regulations.
These key components are:
- Noncompliance.
- Serious harm, injury, impairment, or death that has occurred or is likely to occur.
- Immediate need for action by the provider/supplier to address the noncompliance.
The Core Appendix Q also contains information about how surveyors should determine whether IJ exists, and it includes a template that surveyors must use to ensure that sufficient evidence exists for each key component of IJ.
