Wednesday, February 23| 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM CST
Offered Through Partnership with Georgia Hospital Association
OVERVIEW:
Every hospital that accepts payment for Medicare and Medicaid patients must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoP). The manual has interpretive guidelines that must be followed for all patients treated in the hospital or hospital owned departments. Facilities accredited by the Joint Commission (TJC), Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ), and Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Healthcare with Deemed Status must follow these regulations.
This five-part webinar series will cover the entire CMS Hospital CoP manual for acute care hospitals. Each section of the manual will be discussed including those which had recent updates and still-pending interpretive guidelines.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of part 5, participants should be able to:
• Discuss that CMS requires many policies in the area of infection control
• Recall that patients who are referred to home health, Inpatient rehab, LTCH, and LTC must be given a list in writing of those available and this must be documented in the medical record
• Describe that all staff must be trained in the hospital’s policy on organ donation
• Understand that CMS has specific things that are required be documented in the medical record regarding the post-anesthesia assessment
• Recall that CMS has finalized the discharge planning worksheet and changes to the standards
