WEBINAR: Navigating the Most Problematic CMS Standards

Offered Through Partnership with Georgia Hospital Association

OVERVIEW
Did you know that the number one area of deficiencies in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoP) is regarding restraints? This program will discuss the most problematic standards in the restraint section and simplify the 50-page restraint and seclusion interpretive guidelines.

It will also provide a crosswalk to the Joint Commission standards, but note that every hospital that accepts Medicare patients must comply with the interpretive guidelines regardless of the accrediting body.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this presentation, learners should be able to:
  • Define the CMS restraint requirement of what a hospital must document in the internal log if a patient dies within 24 hours with having two soft wrist restraints on.
  • Recall that CMS requires that all physicians and others who order restraints must be educated on the hospital policy.
  • Describe the CMS restraint education requirements for staff.
