Any hospital that accepts Medicare reimbursement must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoPs). The patient rights section of the CMS CoPs manual has the highest number of deficiencies for hospitals.

The information from this webinar applies to all hospitals, Acute or Critical Access, and will cover the CoPs Appendix A section on patient rights.

This session will address grievances, the right to receive notice of patient rights, exercise of rights, informed consent, privacy, confidentiality of medical records, safety, advance directives, interpreters, abuse and neglect, plan of care, visitation rules, and support person rights.
