Course Curriculum
Every hospital that accepts payment for Medicare and Medicaid patients must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoPs). The manual has interpretive guidelines that must be followed for all patients treated in the hospital or hospital owned departments. Facilities accredited by the Joint Commission (TJC), HFAP, CIHQ, and DNV GL Healthcare with Deemed Status must follow these regulations.
This five-part webinar series will cover the entire CMS Hospital CoP manual for acute care hospitals. Each section of the manual will be discussed including those which had recent updates and still-pending Interpretive Guidelines.
Part Four QAPI, Medical Staff, Dietary, Radiology, Lab, Utilization Review, and Facility Services
Objectives: At the conclusion of part four, participants should be able to:
