Course Curriculum
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and accrediting organizations such as The Joint Commission (TJC) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV) have certain elements required for informed consent. This program will review those standards and informed consent requirements.
There are three sections in the CMS CoPs manual regarding consent. All hospitals that receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement must comply with these regulations and interpretive guidelines. This webinar will discuss the CMS requirements for hospitals and critical access hospitals.
Hospitals must follow the consent regulations for all patients, not just Medicare and Medicaid patients. Failure to follow these regulations could result in the hospital being cited and/or excluded from the Medicare program. Hospitals should ensure that their policies and procedures reflect the CMS requirements and that their staff are educated on the informed consent interpretive guidelines. There are six mandatory elements and additional optional elements for hospitals to adopt. CMS requires the hospital to ensure that physicians are following these guidelines. Consent is a process and not just having a signed form.
Health care providers must also be aware of their specific state law on informed consent. Many professional organizations, such as the American College of Surgeons, American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists also have guidelines or position statements on informed consent.
