"Preventing F-Tags, Elevating Wound Care."

"How Kingwood Healing Hands Wound Care Supports Nursing Facilities in Preventing F-Tags"

At Kingwood Healing Hands Wound Care, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care to ensure that nursing facilities remain compliant with federal regulations and avoid F-Tags. We understand the critical impact F-Tags can have on your facility, and we are here to help you navigate and prevent these citations.


Understanding F-Tags


F-Tags are federal citations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) when deficiencies are identified during inspections of nursing facilities. These tags correspond to specific regulatory requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, which facilities must meet to qualify for Medicare and Medicaid funding.

When a facility receives an F-Tag, it must publicly display the citation, and the details are recorded on federal websites and databases. Each F-Tag addresses a different aspect of care, ranging from wound management and pressure ulcer prevention to resident rights, nutrition, and mental health.


Our Comprehensive Approach to

F-Tag Prevention

At Kingwood Healing Hands Wound Care, we provide a robust and multifaceted approach to help nursing facilities avoid F-Tags, ensuring compliance with all relevant guidelines and enhancing the quality of care for residents.

-
Expert wound care by board-certified nurse practitioners: Our board-certified nurse practitioners, specializing in wound care, ensure that all services are provided with the highest level of expertise. This aligns with the requirements of F-Tag 710, which mandates proper oversight of wound care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs).

-
Pressure ulcer prevention and management: We adhere to best practices as outlined by F-Tags 686, ensuring that residents receive the necessary care to prevent and treat pressure ulcers, tailored to their specific clinical needs.

-
Resident-centered care plans: Our wound care programs comply with F-Tags 658, guaranteeing that all services provided meet professional standards and that the appropriate wound dressings are used for different types of wounds.

-
Staff training and education: We offer comprehensive staff training on the basics of preventing and adhering to wound care guidelines per Medicare requirements. This training is designed to equip your team with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver optimal care and avoid F-Tags.

-
Infection control training by certified infection preventionists: Our nurses are certified infection preventionists, ensuring that your facility meets and exceeds infection control standards. This specialized training is crucial in wound care, helping to prevent infections and avoid citations related to infection control standards.

-
Consent and mental health care: We ensure that all residents receiving wound care provide proper consent for treatment, in accordance with F-Tag 552. Additionally, we address the mental health needs of residents, ensuring compliance with F-Tags 742, which requires facilities to provide necessary behavioral health services.

-
Timely communication: We prioritize timely communication with attending physicians regarding any changes in a resident's wound status, in accordance with F-Tags 580. This ensures that interventions are prompt and care plans are adjusted as needed.

-
Comprehensive care approach: Our services extend to related aspects of care, such as nutrition (F-Tags 325) and hydration (F-Tags 327), to support the overall health of residents and prevent complications that could lead to F-Tags.

By partnering with Kingwood Healing Hands Wound Care, your nursing facility will benefit from our specialized expertise, comprehensive training programs, and proactive strategies, enabling you to maintain regulatory compliance and provide the highest level of care to your residents.
