CMS COPs 2023 Updates

OVERVIEW

Hospitals must follow the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) conditions of participation (CoP) for all patients to receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. The CoP are the specified requirements that must be upheld to address patient safety needs and services provided within a facility. Facilities included are acute care facilities, critical access hospitals, and health systems. CMS updates the CoP on a regular basis and it is important for leaders and staff to have an understanding of these requirements. Facilities that are accredited by the Joint Commission (TJC), Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ), or Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Healthcare must follow these regulations.

This program will review standards that have been updated since 2020. Essential standards that have changed or are at high risk for failure to uphold will be included. Examples are provider orders, medication management and administration, blood administration, nursing services and use of agency, nurse staffing, responsibilities of nursing leaders, discharge planning, visitation and grievances.

The program will additionally cover sections in the hospital CoP manual that are most frequently cited as deficiencies during accreditation surveys. These areas of risk include infection prevention and control, antibiotic stewardship, Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), restraints and seclusion, and suicide prevention.

Performance improvement and quality strategies will also be discussed. Gap assessments will be included for all levels of staff. Best practices and preparation for surveys will also be discussed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
