WEBINAR: CMS Radiology & Nuclear Medicine CoPs


CMS Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Conditions of Participation (CoPs) 

Course Curriculum
The CMS hospital conditions of participation (CoPs) on radiology and nuclear medicine have been rewritten, effective July 10, 2015. Every hospital that accepts Medicare or Medicaid must be in compliance with these regulations and interpretive guidelines.

During this session, our speaker will discuss the risks of ionizing radiation, increased patient exposure, and safety precautions to decrease radiation exposure, including staff training, care of high-risk patients, appropriate shielding, and equipment review and calibration. Sue will review the FDA initiative to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure, diagnostic and therapeutic radiology and standards, standards of care, and the order of nuclear medicine tests. Additionally, she will cover the CMS MRI requirements.

Learning Objectives 
At the conclusion of this session, the participants will be able to:
1. Discuss the many rewritten radiology and nuclear medicine provisions in the CoPs manual.
2. Identify the policies and procedures required for radiology by CMS.
3. Describe the hospital diagnostic radiology services a hospital must have in order to meet standards of care practice.
