This is a must-attend for every nurse, physician, or healthcare provider who has direct patient care. Did you know the highest number of deficiencies for hospitals being out of compliance with the hospital CoP manual is in the area of patient rights? Patient rights should be on the radar screen for every hospital in 2020! The highest number was in the area of restraint and seclusion, followed by care in a safe setting, grievances, privacy, advance directives, confidentiality, admission status notification, and visitation and consent. There are over 9,000 deficiencies in patient rights.
This program will cover in detail the CMS patient rights requirements which include grievances, right to get notice of patient rights, the exercise of rights, visitation, informed consent, privacy, confidentially of medical records, safety, advance directives, interpreters, abuse, and neglect, infant security, plan of care, visitation rules, support person rights, consent, and staffing levels. CMS added a detailed section on ligature risks and the requirements for caring for suicidal patients to prevent strangulation and this will be discussed. A change was made to the restraint and seclusion section that went into effect on November 29, 2019, and interpretive guidelines in 2020.
Most every hospital in the U.S. accepts Medicare reimbursement and as such must be in compliance with the CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs). This program will also discuss important CMS memos which include confidentiality and privacy for hospitals. Privacy and confidentiality are important, especially as the revised HIPAA and the increased penalties being levied against hospitals in the past year.
