The COVID-19 pandemic and multiple natural and man-made disasters over the past few years have required hospitals to activate their emergency preparedness plan. In anticipation of patient injury because of such disasters, CMS – Centers for Medicare and Medicaid – revised the Conditions of Participation for hospitals in 2020.
This webinar will cover CMS regulations for a facility regarding emergency preparedness with the recent updates to include emerging infectious diseases. All covered facilities must have a written program to address the various natural and man-made emergencies that may impact care delivery and patient safety. Training of staff and testing of the program must be done. This program will cover the required elements for compliance with CMS regulations, including mandatory testing and personnel training. There will also be a brief discussion of references and resources from The Joint Commission.
