Discharge Planning Worksheet and Standards: Ensuring Compliance with the CMS Hospital CoPs and Proposed Changes
Price: $ + applicable taxes
This program will discuss the final surveyor worksheet for assessing compliance with the CMS hospital Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for discharge planning. This worksheet is used by State and Federal surveyors on all survey activity in hospitals assessing compliance with the discharge planning standards.
The discharge planning worksheet states that medical record information, such as a discharge summary, should be dictated and in the hands of the primary care physician or other physician before the first post hospital visit. The proposed 2019 changes will require that this be done within 48 hours of discharge. Is your hospital familiar with the interpretive guidelines and the worksheet information? Come learn what other important things CMS has in their final worksheet, such as addressing hospital readmissions and:
- Discharge planning policy requirements
- Important four factors in discharge planning
- Feedback process from post-acute hospital providers (LTC, home health)
