Abstract

In 1993, the General Assembly considered House File 582, a bill relating to the establishment of a pre-admission program for elders considering admission into a nursing facility. The bill was intended to provide individuals considering nursing facility placement with the same screening, assessment and inter-agency care planning as is provided by the Case Management Program for Frail Elderly (CMPFE). Bill language created uncertainty about the number of counties that would implement pre-admission assessments and the cost involved.
