SUMMARY:Discharge Planning: Compliance with CMS Hospital & CAH CoPs
DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDate: 8/15/23\n9:00 – 11:00 A.M.  Central time\n\n \nRegistration fees:     $225 per facility   |   Non-Members Registration Fee:  $350 per facility\n\nRECOMMENDED AUDIENCE:\nChief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Compliance Officer, Emergency Department Personnel, Joint Commission Coordinator, Medical Records, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, Legal Counsel.\nOVERVIEW:\nThis program will cover the changes to the discharge planning standards published in February 2020. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has yet to publish revised interpretive guidelines and survey procedures to match the new regulations. The regulations apply to all hospitals, including Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). The new regulations cover sections on a patient’s timely access to medical records, the discharge planning process, discharge instructions, and discharge planning requirements. This webinar will review transfers to other facilities, assessment of 30-day readmissions, caregiver rights and recommendations, reduction of factors that lead to preventable readmissions, and more. This session will also discuss the Impact Act’s effect on hospital  discharge planning, as well as the worksheet previously used to assess compliance with the CMS hospital Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for discharge planning. Although no longer used, the worksheet is available as an excellent self-assessment tool. Finally, the webinar will cover 1335 waivers regarding discharge planning that CMS issued during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid must comply with the CMS discharge planning guidelines, and these standards must be followed for all patients.\n\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nAt the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:\n\nRecite that CMS has revised the discharge planning requirements that apply to all hospitals and critical access hospitals.\nRecall that patients and physicians can request a discharge planning evaluation.\nDiscuss that information about the hospitalization must be provided to the physician or provider before the first post-hospital visit.\nDescribe that the patient has a right to timely medical records that should include a copy of their discharge plan.\n\n\nSPEAKERS: \nLaura A.
