      Nursing Facility ICPG — Sector-Specific Guidance

      Beyond the 7 core elements, the OIG's Nursing Facility ICPG adds requirements for long-term care: staffing adequacy, quality of care and resident safety, resident rights and dignity, and Medicare/Medicaid billing integrity. Ethoshield's advisory model is calibrated to all of these, not adapted from generic healthcare templates.

      Nursing Facility Risk Areas

      Where regulatory scrutiny concentrates

      The OIG and CMS consistently flag these areas in nursing facility enforcement actions.

      Engagement process

      From assessment to ongoing program

      Every engagement starts with your actual risk profile, not a template.

      1
      Organizational risk assessment
      We review your payer mix, survey history, staffing structure, existing policies, and operational workflows to identify your specific compliance gaps and risk concentrations.
      2
      Program design & infrastructure
      Based on the assessment, we build or refine your compliance architecture, written standards, reporting mechanisms, training plan, and audit schedule calibrated to your size and risk profile.
      3
      Implementation & leadership integration
      We work directly with your leadership team to implement the program, establish governance structures, and ensure the compliance function has appropriate authority and reporting lines.
      4
      Ongoing monitoring & advisory
      Compliance is not a one-time project. We serve as your ongoing compliance partner, monitoring, auditing, responding to incidents, and keeping your program current as regulations evolve.

      See how your program measures up

      We'll walk through the 7 elements against your current structure and show you exactly where the gaps are.
