CMS Posts Draft Critical Incident Management System Survey for Public Comment

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted a draft state critical incident management system (CIMS) survey for public comment. This draft survey will be a follow-up to the state survey conducted in 2019. The purpose of the survey is to identify current methods and new promising practices for identifying, reporting, tracking, and resolving incidents of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. We expect the survey will be finalized and issued for states to complete in spring 2024. Comments are due to CMS by Monday, December 4.
