Home, testified that one of the other

snip
Here, the essence of Bergman's argument
is that the evidence preponderates
in her favor. This argument does not
comport with our standard of review.
As noted previously, we review the
evidence and all reasonable inferences
deducible therefrom in the light most
favorable to the Board's findings.
Lovelace v. Director, supra.
We hold that Kaczmarski's and Swift's
testimony about their investigation
and discovery that Bergman had
intentionally falsified the charts
of several patients constitutes
substantial evidence. We do not even
consider whether Bergman's version of
the events was more worthy of belief.

CMS says repeal of RUG-IV delay still
possible, to relax MDS transmission rules
Federal regulators said Thursday they
are hoping that Congress will act by
the end of the year to keep in place
full-time what is now being called a
provisional RUG-IV nursing home
Medicare payment system. Still,
preparations for an alternate system
recently began in earnest, an
official for the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services said
Thursday during the agency's monthly
SNF Open Door Forum conference call.

doing something private insurers almost
never do: slashing rates.

Oral Health Promotion Fact Sheets
and Video Clips for Mouthcare in
Long-Term Care
http://www.umanitoba.ca/dentistry/

In 2000, the University of Manitoba's
Centre for Community Oral Health
(CCOH) expanded its focus in caring
for underserved populations through the
creation of the Health Promotion Unit
(HPU) to improve the oral and overall
health of communities by providing
prevention-focused health promotion
programming as well as dental treatment
of existing disease. The Health
Promotion Unit committed to improve
the oral health of residents in
long-term care (LTC) facilities of
Deer Lodge Centre and Manitoba
Developmental Centre, as well as the
Home Dental Care (mobile van) program,
which visits over 40 LTC facilities
in the Winnipeg area.
A primary focus of the HPU's activities
has been to increase the oral health
knowledge, awareness and mouthcare
skills of caregivers through
in-services,
workshops, and presentations.
These programs have been delivered to
many health care aides, nurses,
speech language pathologists,
dietitians, physicians, administrators,
family members, and others.
This site is designed to share the
collection of LTC fact sheets and video
clips developed as mouthcare training
for caregivers including:
Mouth Care LTC Fact Sheets: Fact sheets
are revised on a regular basis to
keep them current and based on the
latest evidence available. Permission
is granted to print and use them in
their original un-edited form, keeping
the logo and author information intact.
LTC Video Clips: In 2007-2008, the HPU
developed a variety of short video
clips to demonstrate various aspects
of providing mouthcare for dependent
adults. They have been used extensively
during caregiver training with very
positive feedback regarding their
usefulness. Access the video clips to
learn more about mouthcare for this
population, improve your skill in
effectively providing mouthcare for
others, and share this information with
others. The video clips are available
free of charge, provided users
formally recognize their origin and
the authors.
