Elizabeth LaFoe Frederick will present, "SNF Involuntary Discharges: Legal Requirements and Practice Tips (SNF)," at the American Health Law Association's (AHLA) Long Term and Post-Acute Care Law and Compliance on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
The panel of presenters includes an attorney with experience advising facilities on involuntary discharges and handling related litigation, in house counsel for an organization that manages skilled nursing facilities specializing in behavioral residents, and counsel for a large hospital system, which is sometimes used as a discharge placement. The presenters will offer differing perspectives and practice tips based on their in-depth experience with these difficult situations and the different laws and procedures that apply to them. The session will include:
- A broad overview of the involuntary discharge process from skilled nursing facilities and the appeals process available to residents and their representatives
- The federal legal requirements and guidance for facilities on the discharge process and provide an overview of how appeals of these discharges may play out, depending on the state laws and processes in place
