Nebraska: what a medical director of a long-term care / assisted living / group home must do
Whether Nebraska requires a physician medical director for a long-term care / assisted living / group home, the qualifications you need, and the duties the rule assigns.
Qualifications
A physician designated by the facility.
Duties the rule assigns
- Ensuring adequate medical practitioner availability and support
- Ensuring effective medical practitioner and facility compliance with requirements
- Evaluating and improving the quality of care provided
- Evaluating and improving the quality of the systems/processes that influence care
Notes
Applies to licensed skilled nursing/nursing/intermediate-care facilities (175 Neb. Admin. Code ch. 12), mirroring the federal SNF medical-director Condition of Participation (42 CFR § 483.75(i)). Nebraska's separate assisted-living-facility chapter (175 NAC 4) has no equivalent — its only physician-related provisions are each resident's right to choose a personal attending physician and a record of the resident's own designated physician, not a facility-level director role.
