Course Curriculum
This five-part webinar series will cover the entire Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Conditions of Participation (CoP) manual from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This program offers an excellent opportunity to educate everyone in your hospital on all the CMS manual sections, especially ones that apply to their department.

Part Three will review the following: infection control, safe medication practices, patient services, outpatient services, lab, and discharge planning.

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  • Recall that the infection preventionist must be appointed by the board.
  • Recall that CMS has an infection control worksheet that may be helpful to CAHs.
  • Discuss proper insulin pens usage.
  • Describe that an order is needed to allow the patient to self-administer medications.
  • Explain that there are three-time frames in which to administer medications.
  • Discuss what CMS requires for discharge planning.
