With Many Years’ Experience Working with HUD Lenders, Pendulum Is The Leader in Helping Organizations Meet HUD Risk Management Requirements.
What Does the Assessment Include?
The Professional Liability Risk Assessment, whether conducted on-site or through the comprehensive desk-based process, includes review of both operational and clinical processes, the environment for liability risk exposures, and an analysis of Quality of Care. For a skilled nursing facility this includes review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) overall star rating, health inspections, staffing, quality of resident care, deficiency trends, the facility’s ethics, and infection control programs.
HUD Incident Management System
For a facility that does not have a web-based incident management system, Pendulum offers a secure system that meets HUD requirements including a real-time incident reporting and tracking system that informs senior management of all incidents with potential liability. The Pendulum system efficiently records incidents and/or adverse events and provides reports to evaluate the data for negative trends and risk potential. An assigned consultant can provide a third-party review of the incidents as required by HUD.
Third-Party Review Of Incidents
For a facility that has a current web-based incident management system, Pendulum may assist with third-party oversight of incidents per the HUD requirements. An assigned consultant is provided access to the facility’s incidents and reviews for trends and potential issues. Periodic phone calls allow for discussion of those trends and risk management strategies to reduce potential liability risks.
