WEBINAR: CMS Nursing CoPs for Hospitals and Proposed Changes
CMS Nursing Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for Hospitals and Proposed Changes: 2019 Update
Course Curriculum
Recently there has been increased scrutiny and surveillance to make sure all hospitals are in compliance with the hospital Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoPs). Every hospital that accepts Medicare or Medicaid must be in compliance with these regulations and interpretive guidelines.
This program will cover the nursing services section in the hospital CoP manual. Our speaker will discuss the significant changes CMS has made to the Hospital Improvement Rule, plans of care and staff policy changes. Sue will review documentation, supervision, nursing leadership and verbal orders. Additionally, changes to medication administration, blood transfusion, safe injection practices and safe opioid standards, among other changes and updates, will be reviewed.
