Webinar Overview:

Imagine a CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) surveyor who shows up at the hospital to do a CMS survey such as a validation survey. The surveyor pulls out the infection control worksheet which has a section on safe injection practices. Now compliance with safe injection practices will be assessed during all validation surveys, surveys, and resurveys.

Webinar Objectives:

• Discuss that the infection control work sheets contain a list of items that will be assessed during the on-site survey in order to determine compliance with safe injection practices
