Joint Commission revises Medication Management EPs

Briefings on Accreditation and Quality

Immediate Jeopardy - Why this finding can be disastrous to your facility.

In healthcare, the words “Immediate Jeopardy” carry roughly the same meaning as “my brakes aren’t working,” “why is the tiger enclosure empty?” and “Vesuvius is rumbling really loudly today.”
In other words, something has already gone wrong and you have to move very quickly to stop it before it gets exponentially worse.

The CMS Conditions of Participation and Interpretive Guidelines

Compliance with the Conditions of Participation (CoP) is required to meet Medicare and Medicaid hospital regulations. CMS makes updates to the CoPs on its website, but few have the time to sort through the plethora of information and identify where the updated information is located. This is where HCPro comes in! We have taken the most recent version of CMS’ CoPs and the corresponding Interpretive Guidelines (IG) and reprinted them in an easy-to-use format to simplify your job.
Benefits of this book include: •    An easy-to-read hard copy reference of CoPs and IGs, which are difficult to find online and lengthy and tedious to print
•    The most recent CoP IGs from CMS
•    The most recent EMTALA IGs
•    And the CMS survey protocol For more information visit hcmarketplace.com
