A visit from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) can be stressful if you’re not prepared. A five-part webinar series designed for hospitals and health systems will cover every section of the CMS Hospital Conditions of Participation (CoP) manual, tailored to specific hospital departments. Although CMS is conducting limited surveys, prior to COVID hospitals had seen a significant increase in survey activity. Visits are especially underway following a complaint or indication of immediate jeopardy. This program will review the most problematic standards and offer tips for a gap analysis to ensure compliance—and help you prepare for your next CMS visit.

This is the fourth webinar in the five-part series.

Agenda

  • Recall that CMS has patient safety requirements in the Quality Assessment Performance Improvement (QAPI) section that are considered problematic standards.

  • Describe that CMS requires many radiology policies including ones on radiology safety and ensuring all staff are qualified.

  • Discuss that a hospital can credential the dietician to order a patient’s diet if allowed by the state.

  • Review related COVID-19 reporting requirements.

  • Administration

  • Clinical care: Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy, Case Management, Rehabilitation, Infection Control and Radiology
