Webinar Overview:

This webinar will cover the CMS hospital CoP standards for surgery, PACU, and anesthesia. This will include the 2014 changes to the PACU section. CMS issued a memo discussing medication management, IV, and opioids.

How do these standards affect sedation done in the emergency department and GI lab? Come to this webinar and learn the current CMS guidelines. A two page FAQ on anesthesia by CMS will also be discussed.

The history and physical and informed consent form must be on the chart before surgery except in an emergency. What surgical equipment is required? Come learn the answers to these questions and many more.
