Contracted Services: Ensuring Compliance with the CMS Hospital CoP Standards, Joint Commission and DNV Speaker: Sue Dill Calloway President Patient Safety and Health Care Education and Consulting The price for the webinar is $295 per phone line. Contracted services have been under scrutiny by the Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This is why CMS and TJC require hospitals to have a process in place to evaluate contracted services. The evaluation needs to ensure compliance with the provisions contained in the contract regulations and standards with oversight from the hospital Board. Whether the hospital uses its own employees or contractors, the hospital is liable for evaluating contracted services to ensure patients receive the highest quality care. This webinar will cover contract requirements for hospitals accredited by TJC, the CMS hospital CoPs for contracts, TJC’s contract tracer, CMS and TJC telemedicine standards, and the standards for hospitals accredited by DNV GL.
