WEBINAR: Nursing, CMS CoP Standards for Hospitals
Every hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement must follow the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for all patients. This program will cover the nursing services section in the hospital CoPs manual. Facilities with Deemed Status accredited by other organizations, such as the Joint Commission, Health Care Facility Accreditation Program, CIHQ, and DNV Healthcare must also follow these regulations.
This program will discuss the often-cited areas of the CMS CoPs manual involving nursing care including plans of care, staffing, policy changes when a registered nurse is required in an outpatient department, documentation, supervision, nursing leadership, verbal orders, and more.
This program will also reference the ever-changing non-discrimination regulations of Section 1557 and briefly mention other sections of the manual that impact nursing.
After this session, participants should be able to:
• Recall that CMS has a section on nursing services that every hospital must follow, even if accredited.
• Describe the three different timeframes in which all medications must be administered.
• Discuss that nursing care plans are a frequently cited area by CMS.
• Explain the requirements for verbal orders.
