SUMMARY:CMS Pharmacy and Medication: Complying with the Hospital CoPs and Changes
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRegistration fees for webinars are $175/member and $300/non-member unless otherwise noted in an event description.\nNDHA is an approved provider of continuing education by the North Dakota Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators.\n\n\n\n\nDate: 9/21/21\n9:00 AM – 10:30 AM\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nChief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Compliance Officer, Emergency Department Personnel, Joint Commission Coordinator, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, Legal Counsel.\nOverview\nDid you know medication errors are the largest number of medical errors in healthcare today and the most common reason for unnecessary readmissions to the hospital? According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), drug related adverse outcomes occur in 1.9 million inpatient stays, or almost 5% of all admissions. There are also 838,000 patients a year who are treated as an outpatient who have a drug related adverse event.\nIf a surveyor showed up at your hospital today, would you be prepared? Are you up to speed with the new antibiotic stewardship requirements and pharmacy’s involvement in the new regulations under the Hospital Improvement Rule which became final on November 29, 2019? CMS rewrote 10 of the 18 tag hospital pharmacy sections in 2015 and many hospitals are still struggling with compliance. CMS also made changes to 3 of the 18 pharmacy tag numbers and removed all references to the USP standards while including a requirement to follow all national standards of practice and the evidence-based literature in 2020.\nThere have also been many recent changes in the nursing section that address medication usage. For the first time, CMS mentions that nursing needs to be aware of some of the pharmacy standards and vice versa. This includes changes to timing of medication, self-administered medication, compounding, safe opioid use and required medication policies.\nThis program will review the most problematic pharmacy and medication standards and provide guidance and resources to ensure that your facility or system stays in compliance. It is a must attend event for any hospital that accepts Medicare or Medicaid.\nLearning Objectives\nAt the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:\n\nRecall that all hospitals that receive Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement must follow the medication guidelines for all patients.\nDiscuss that CMS has requirements on BUD and compounding.\nRecall that CMS has several required pharmacy policies and procedures.\nDescribe that CMS requires a policy for high-risk drugs such as double checks or dose limits.\n\nSpeaker\nLaura A.
