Every hospital that accepts payment for Medicare and Medicaid patients must comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Conditions of Participation. 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 hospitals. This program will discuss the most problematic standards and how the hospital can do a gap analysis to assist in compliance with the CoPs.
