SUMMARY:Medical Staff and Telemedicine: Meeting CMS CoPs
DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDate:  3/3/26\n9:00 – 10:30 a.m.  Central time\n\nAudience:\nChief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Compliance Officer, Emergency Department Personnel, Joint Commission Coordinator, Medical Records, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, Legal Counsel.\nOverview:\nAny hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid payments must comply with regulations known as the Conditions of Participation (CoPs). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital CoPs have sections on all aspects of patient care, including medical staff and telemedicine.\nThis webinar will discuss the governing body and medical staff sections of the CoPs manual in relation to requirements and oversight.\nAlthough telemedicine has been a factor in health care for many years, COVID-19 gave it a larger role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. This session will discuss standards for acute care hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals participating in telemedicine. Finally, attendees will learn what provisions should be included in a telemedicine contract.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n– Recall that hospitals can have a separate medical staff or a unified shared integrated medical staff.\n– Explain the overlap between the Governing Body and Medical Staff.\n– Describe the requirements for a medical staff under CMS Conditions of Participation.\n– Explain the requirement that hospitals must have a written telemedicine agreement specifying the responsibilities of the distant-site hospital and entities to meet the required credentialing requirements.\n\nSpeaker:\nLaura A.
