The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued all facilities letter 20-87, which provides guidance admission and readmission of skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents following hospitalization. The AFL, which was requested by CHA and developed by CDPH with input from CHA and the California Association of Health Facilities (CAHF) , also provides guidance on working in coordination with local health departments to ensure appropriate and safe care transitions from hospital to SNF.
The new AFL will be the topic of the December 2 Wednesday webinar conducted in coordination with the Health Services Advisory Group,from 3:00 – 4:00. For additional information and to register, please visit the Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG) website. A recording link will be available the day following the webinar.
