Why Should You Attend:
If a CMS surveyor showed up at your door tomorrow would you know what to do? Are you up to date on all the recent CMS hospital CoP changes? Did you know that all the medical records standards (health information management) apply to all departments including lab and x-ray?
This program will cover in detail the CMS regulations and interpretive guidelines for medical records. This is an extremely important section and includes hot issues like verbal orders, history and physicals, organization of the department, standing orders, discharge summary, medication orders, and more.
It will include the proposed changes in 2019 under the Hospital Improvement Rule. This includes changes to outpatient medical records, the rights of patients, and documentation changes. One proposed change would require that the diagnosis and records be completed within 7 days for outpatients. The proposed changes to the CMS discharge planning standards and the proposed changes to transparency, including H&P changes, will also be covered.
CMS publishes a list of deficiencies received by hospitals and this will be discussed. The number of deficiencies in medical records section has gone up significantly. Come learn how to be compliant with these CMS requirements.
This program will cover some information on HIPAA from the Office of Civil Rights including the difference between patient access verses when an authorization is needed. It will discuss the changes to the federal law on alcohol and drug records which are now called substance abuse disorder records under 42 CFR Part 2.
It is important to ensure that the required CMS documentation elements are contained in the electronic medical record (EMR) as hospitals move toward a completely integrated EMR. These should also be reflected in the hospital P&Ps. The number of deficiencies in each of the CMS medical records sections will be discussed.
