Webplay Recording Date : 10-23-2017

Webinar Overview:

Critical Access Hospitals must comply with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Conditions of Participation if they accept Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. The hospital must comply with these 206 page standards for all patients and not just Medicare or Medicaid patient. CMS issues interpretive guidelines that serve as the basis for determining hospital compliance.

This seminar will help hospitals comply with specific CMS-CoP problem areas including restraints, nursing care plans, legibility requirements, verbal orders, history and physicals, needed policies and procedures, nursing medication carts, drug storage, medication administration and emergency preparedness. Attendees will learn details about the CoPs and what to do when a CMS or Department of Health surveyor arrives at your facility.
