WEB SITE HELPS SNFS SET DEFICIENCY RECORD STRAIGHT

LAKE SUCCESS, NY -- 10/31/2003 -- (Eli Digital) An independent Web site is giving skilled nursing facilities the chance to clarify deficiency reports compiled by government regulators.

MyZiva.Net has developed Facility Focus, which allows SNFs to offer explanations or updates regarding government data including survey reports and quality measures. The feature allows providers to describe plans of correction, notify residents of successful deficiency appeals and post more recent survey results.

"We feel strongly that providers require an outlet to demonstrate how they have enhanced performance, based on recent [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services] surveys," says MyZiva.Net founder and CEO Robert Abrams. "The Facility Focus has proven itself to be a valuable asset for providers seeking a means to promote services and benefits to prospective residents and maximize occupancy."
