Overview

Every hospital that accepts Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement must follow the CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and it must be followed for all patients. This program will cover the nursing services section in the hospital CoP manual. Facilities with Deemed Status accredited by the Joint Commission, Health Care Facility Accreditation Program, CIHQ, and DNV Healthcare must also follow these regulations.
There were some changes to the hospital nursing chapter of the conditions of participation (CoPs) in 2020. However, many of those changes are still awaiting interpretive guidelines and survey procedures.

This program will discuss the often-cited areas of the CoP manual involving nursing care: plans of care, staffing, policy changes, when a RN is required in an outpatient department, documentation, supervision, nursing leadership, verbal orders, and more. Nursing services has been cited over 7,200 times according to the most recent report.

Other changes in the past to the Nursing section include timing of medications, standing orders, plan of care, verbal orders, blood transfusions, IV medication, self-administration of medications and drug orders.
This program will also reference other important sections that all nurses should be aware that are outside the nursing services section. Such sections include the revised discharge planning standards, revised history and physicals, visitation, restraint and seclusion and grievances, and Section 1557 and non-discrimination.
