Skilled Nursing Advisory Committee

On August 25, 2010 an introductory meeting between the NHCA, Administrator of the Nevada State Health Division, Richard Whitley, and Wendy Simons, newly appointed Bureau Chief for Health Care & Quality Compliance (HCQC) was held.  This introductory meeting concluded with the agreement to form Skilled Nursing Advisory Committee (SNAC).   The first SNAC meeting was held on September 16, 2010 to discuss common goals between the Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), HCQC and HealthInsight.  This meeting concluded with an agreement that an educational program provided by NVHCA to address Nevada’s “top 10 most cited deficiencies” would be the main purpose of SNAC.
